Abstract
An electric bus bar for low to medium current magnitudes is produced by co-extruding a support structure and a plurality of strips embedded therein. The material of the support structure is plastic and non-electroplatable, whereas the material of the strip is plastic and electroplatable. After a one-piece support element comprising the support structure and the strips has been formed by the co-extrusion step, exposed surfaces of the strips are electroplated with an electrically conductive material.
