A miniaturized plastic bus bar connecting a series of spaced terminal pins arranged in a row. The bar has U-shaped cross-section or the like with parallel legs and a connecting base web; and the web has openings formed by slots removing the bar base in the area of each pin. When one metal bar is used, the opposite leg can have a longitudinally extending boss to contact the pins and the opposite leg can be divided between each opening to localize the resilient force of the plastic material in gripping each pin. One or two metal conductive strips are set in one or both legs in position to bear on the pins. Insulation of metal strips at all or part of the pin locations and selective removal of insulation permits various circuit connections to the pins. Surfaces of boss and strips that the pins initially contact upon entry into said openings are disposed at camming angles for ease of bus bar installation.
