Abstract
An electrical cross-connector arrangement is provided for connecting to an electrical junction box or the like a plurality of connecting terminals, modules or pin-and-socket connectors, including a comb-like member having a plurality of resilient flat finger portions having free ends that extend within corresponding openings contained in a plurality of bus bars, respectively, the free end of each finger portion being twisted about the longitudinal axis of the finger portion, thereby to effect a positive electrical contact between the finger portion and the walls of the bus bar opening, while affording a certain degree of tolerance.
