ABSTRACT:
A bussing system 10 for panels 11, such as a printed circuit board employs bus means comprised of at least one ribbon 16 of flexible, relatively thin, substantially flat, conductive material, such as copper. Ribbon 16 is bent as desired to be received within a plurality of taps, including at least one vertical tap 13, mounted on the panel at selected respective locations. The taps may also include at least one horizontal tap 14, in which case ribbon 16 is twisted to right angles thereto to be received in the horizontal tap. One or more standoffs 15 may be employed to maintain mechanical rigidity and to maintain ribbon 16 in a vertical orientation off of panel 11. The amount of copper (or other material) employed is held to a minimum to meet the circular mil area (or "CMA") requirements. Design flexibility is assured for accommodating a variety of configurations, thereby effecting a considerable savings in development, tooling and production costs.
