Abstract
A method and apparatus for the economical and reliable assembly of buss plates and components thereon, having a bushing positioned on one or more surfaces or therebetween. A novel spring-like retainer is employed to retain a plurality of bushings in proximity to a plurality of buss plate through holes to facilitate easy assembly. The use of the spring retainer eliminates the requirement for costly and potentially adverse pre-assembly soldering of the busing into position.
