Jumper Wires

Jumper wires are a common form of electrical wiring consisting of a multi-strand wire harness, which is usually crimped or soldered to a connector at one end and open on the other. They can be used in a variety of applications, from simple electrical repairs to complex wiring runs.

The 0039000038-08-V2 jumper wires are specifically designed for use in harsh environments such as automotive, industrial, and military applications. These wires have a special type of insulation that helps to protect the wires from abrasion, heat, and other harmful conditions. The wires are constructed with insulated strands of copper and incorporate a rubberized jacket that is designed to provide additional protection against exposure to water, oil, and other hazardous liquids.

Working Principle

Jumper wires are manufactured with both soldered and crimped ends. Both approaches provide a reliable and secure connection between two points. Soldered ends are created with an electrical soldering process which melts a thermally conductive alloy called solder onto the ends of the wire strands. This solder creates a secure and lasting connection.

Crimped ends involve the electrical connection of two wires using a crimping tool to press the connector onto the wire strands, thereby creating a firm bond between the strands and the connector. The crimped connection is often used in difficult to access places because the process requires minimal time and effort to execute.

The two methods of connection have distinct advantages and disadvantages, however, they both create a reliable connection when used in the correct application.
