Bus bar for power distribution on a printed circuit board

A system, comprising:

• a printed circuit board supporting a plurality of electronic components, wherein each of the electronic components are electrically connected to one of a plurality of electronically conductive contacts disposed in a linear arrangement on the printed circuit board;
• a rigid, electronically conductive bus bar extending over the plurality of electronically conductive contacts;
• a plurality of electronically conductive polymer contact pads secured to the bus bar and spaced apart along the length of the bus bar, wherein the plurality of electronically conductive polymer contact pads are compressible;
• and
• one or more fasteners securing the bus bar to the printed circuit board, wherein the one or more fasteners compress each of the plurality of electronically conductive polymer contact pads into electrical contact with one of the plurality of electronically conductive contacts on the printed circuit board.
