A one-piece plastic part is configured to support a bus bar in an electrical equipment cabinet. The plastic part includes an elongated front wall and an elongated box frame structure projecting transversely from a rear side of the front wall. The front wall and the box frame structure together define peripheral boundaries of an elongated chamber configured to contain the bus bar. The front wall defines a front side of the chamber, and is configured to block electrically conductive access to the bus bar through the front side of the chamber. The box frame structure defines an open rear side of the chamber, and is configured to provide access for insertion of an electrical terminal through the open rear side for connection of the terminal to the bus bar in the chamber. A first aperture in the terminal is configured to receive a fastener which fastens the terminal to the bus bar. A mounting boss on the bus bar fits within a second aperture in the terminal so as to block movement of the terminal relative to the bus par pivotally about the fastener.

[ We claim:] [1.]1. Apparatus comprising;a support structure configured to support a bus bar in an electrical equipment cabinet;said support structure including an elongated front wall and an elongated box frame structure projecting transversely from a rear side of said front wall, with said front wall and said box frame structure together defining peripheral boundaries of an elongated chamber configured to contain the bus bar;said front wall defining a front side of said chamber and being configured to block electrically conductive access to the bus bar through said front side of said chamber;said box frame structure defining an open rear side of said chamber and being configured to provide access for insertion of an electrical terminal through said open rear side for connection of the terminal to the bus bar in said chamber;said box frame structure having a pair of opposed side walls defining opposed sides of said chamber, with at least one of said side walls having a plurality of apertures which are sized to receive fasteners for fastening the bus bar to said support structure;said support structure further including a plurality of divider walls which are spaced apart along the length of said chamber to define a corresponding plurality of connection compartments within said chamber, with each of said connection compartments being sized to receive an electrical terminal inserted through said open rear side of said chamber for connection of the electrical terminal to the bus bar in said chamber;a plurality of said divider walls being spaced from said front wall to define gaps through which the fasteners can be moved across said rear side of said front wall from said apertures to the bus bar.
