Jumper Wires

0430310002-04-N2-D wires are the most commonly used type of jumper wires. These wires provide a secure and reliable connection between two points without the need for soldering. Typically, they consist of a short length of insulated conductor, which is available in both single conductor and multiple conductor varieties. The insulation is usually made of a flexible PVC or Teflon material, which allows for a wide range of temperature ratings. The wires often come pre-crimped and are typically found in configurations with a variety of length and gauge sizes, which are suitable for a variety of applications.

The primary application for these wires is in prototyping and interconnecting electronic components, such as breadboards, printed circuit boards, microcontrollers, and sensors. The jumper wires can be used to establish a connection by simply plugging it in with the electrical contacts on each end. This is a quick and easy way to connect two devices without soldering, making it ideal for prototyping and testing. Additionally, some jumper wires are available with male and female ends, allowing for connections between more than two devices.

Pre-Crimped Leads

0430310002-04-N2-D pre-crimped leads are another type of jumper wire, but feature a pre-crimped terminal at one or both ends. This allows the wire to be quickly plugged into header pins, termination blocks, breadboards, or other types of connectors without needing a soldering iron. The pre-crimped leads come in a variety of different lengths and gauges, allowing them to be used in a wide range of applications.

The most common applications for pre-crimped leads include connecting electronic components to power supplies, prototyping circuits, and attaching sensors to microcontrollers. As the terminals are already crimped onto the wire, they can be plugged in quickly and easily, making them ideal for prototyping and test setups. Furthermore, the flexibility of the insulated conductor allows for the leads to be used in different environments, with a variety of temperature ratings.

Working Principle

The working principle of jumper wires and pre-crimped leads is fairly simple. The insulated conductors are connected to two electrical contacts, either at the ends or in the middle of the wire. When the two contacts are connected, an electrical current flows through the conductor, establishing a connection between the two points.

In the case of pre-crimped leads, the terminals are already crimped onto the ends of the conductor, thus eliminating the need for soldering. As the terminals are already attached, they can be quickly and easily plugged into the desired connectors, such as header pins or termination blocks. This makes pre-crimped leads ideal for test setups, prototyping, and connecting electronic components.
