Abstract
To produce bus bars, a conductive metal plate is stamped out into a plurality of strips simultaneously by press molding. Each strip has a tab having an L-shaped cross-section defined by a curved section and a distal end. The plurality of strips are bent in a thickness direction to obtain a plurality of rings, respectively. The rings are mutually different in diameter and have substantially the same center. The L-shaped tab of each of the rings is disposed such that the distal end of each tab is disposed substantially at a same distance from the center.
