Jumper wires are short and flexible wires which are built in pre-configured lengths. They are primarily used to make connections between various electronic components on a printed circuit board. The most common uses of jumper wires include connecting different components such as resistors, diodes and capacitors, and bridging two closely spaced components.

Types of Jumper Wires

Jumper wires come in three types: single core, multi core and insulated. Single core jumper wires are the most common and consist of a small wire with a plastic or metal connector at one end. These wires are designed to be used with either basic soldering techniques or pre-crimped leads. Multi core jumper wires are often used in applications which require greater flexibility and are pre-cut into specific lengths.

Pre-Crimped Leads

Pre-crimped leads are a more advanced form of jumper wiring which allows for easy connection and disconnection of wiring components. Pre-crimped leads have insulation around the metal or plastic conductors, making them slightly more durable than standard jumper wires. Pre-crimped leads are also available with various connector types, such as an RJ45 plug and a USB connector.

Working Principle

Jumper wires and pre-crimped leads work on the principle of creating a physical link between two electrical components. When a jumper wire is connected with a soldered lead or pre-crimped lead, the physical connection is made and the electrical connection is established. This allows current to pass between the two components, creating a circuit.

Application Field

Jumper wires and pre-crimped leads are commonly used in a variety of different applications. They are most commonly used to make short-term connections between components on a printed circuit board, such as resistors, diodes and capacitors. They can also be used to make connections between two closely spaced components on a board, such as a microcontroller and an LCD display. They are also commonly used in applications where a connection needs to be easily disconnected, such as diagnostics and maintenance.
