Abstract
A low profile electrical distribution center comprises a plurality of thin bus assemblies that are stacked one upon another. Each bus assembly comprises stamped metal circuit components having planar bus portions sandwiched between thin flexible upper and lower sheets of insulation material that are bonded together. The stamped metal circuit components have male blade terminals that extend up or down from the bus portions. The thin flexible sheets of insulation material are die cut to facilitate manufacture and assembly of the stamped metal circuit components from a one piece stamped metal blank.
