Jumper Wires, Pre-Crimped Leads

0002061101-06-Y2 Application Field and Working Principle

Jumper wires are commonly used in electronics projects that involve prototypes, development boards, or other test and measurement equipment. In particular, they can be the backbone of a development board, providing a path for electrical signals to travel between components.

These wires allow electrical signals to travel to components that are far from each other. They are typically made of copper-plated steel, which has the electrical properties to carry a signal consistently. They come in several color-code options and are flexible enough to be easily routed around tight corners or through a panel. It should be noted that not all jumper wires are designed to carry power, so always consult the product spec sheet before using them for high current applications.

Pre-crimped leads are used for connecting components and circuit boards. Unlike jumper wires, they require more stability and require a higher level of precision. Pre-crimped leads come in various sizes to best fit the application. They are also designed for more robust, and heavy-duty applications, as they are better able to handle higher current than jumper wires.

The 0002061101-06-Y2 by Jumper Wire Solutions is an example of a pre-crimped lead. This product is designed to provide durability and reliability when routing large amounts of power in the form of DC or AC current. It has a solid terminal lug, and is insulated with a double-wall PVC insulation mechanism to ensure longevity and electrical reliability. This lead is also RoHS compliant and is suitable for use in industrial and commercial applications.

Jumper wires and pre-crimped leads are staples of any engineering project. They provide a reliable way to direct and control electrical signals from point A to point B. While the color coding may appear intimidating at first, most are simply designed to make troubleshooting a bit easier. However, always take the proper safety precautions when working with these products and consult the product spec sheet for confirmation.
