Abstract
A shunt assembly is disclosed for interconnecting closely spaced terminal contacts. The contacts of the subject shunt are strip formed in a conventional fashion with a shunting bar interconnecting adjacent pairs of contacts. The required number of contacts are cut from the carrier strip and the interconnecting shunting bars are bent to a folded configuration thereby drawing the contacts closer together to achieve the desired spacing. The closely spaced contacts can be inserted into an appropriate housing of insulating material if so desired.
