Abstract
A method of assembling a miniaturized bus bar which has high capacitance comprises forming a layer of ceramic material directly upon a bus bar conductor or directly upon a supporting metal strip which is attached to a first bus bar conductor. The exposed surface of the layer of ceramic material is subsequently mechanically and electrically bonded to a second bus bar conductor which extends parallelly with respect to the first bus conductor.
