Abstract: One or more multilayer ceramic capacitors are positioned in a laminated bus bar so that a pair of opposed, external electrodes on each capacitor are positioned in substantially coplanar engagement with the confronting, plane surfaces of adjacent conductor strips in the bar. The two external electrodes of each capacitor are connected each to a different one of two, spaced metal termination plates, which are mounted on each capacitor to interconnect its alternate and intervening electrodes, respectively. The two termination plates of each capacitor register with spaced recesses or openings formed in each of the adjacent conductor strips to accommodate any projections on the termination plates and thereby permit coplanar engagement of said external electrodes with said conductor strips.
