Jumper Wires

Jumper wires are commonly used electrical components which are connected from one side of the circuit board to the other, usually to bypass a component or create a test circuit. Jumper wires are most commonly found on breadboard, since they allow connections between various pins on the electronic components used in the circuit. Generally, jumper wires consist of two alligator clips with a small piece of wire between them.

The 1722533023-06-L9-D jumper wire is a low cost solution for adding points of connection within a circuit. Its design is specifically suited for high power applications due to its PTFE insulated 18AWG wire, which provides superior power handling capabilities up to 30A.

The PTFE insulation increases its dielectric strength, making it more reliable for applications where extreme temperatures or high AC voltage can cause degradation of less insulated alternatives. Moreover, the deeply crimped alligator clips provide the best connection between the two contacts.

The PTFE insulation ensures that the connector can handle strong mechanical tension while remaining intact and connected. The two contacts of the jumper wire are visibly labelled so that connecting in the right direction is easier and the dual colour casing provides instant recognition of the mating plug.

Pre-Crimped Leads

Pre-crimped leads are a simple type of electrical connection that consists of a wire with one or more crimped connectors at either end. They are used to replace solder connections, which can be more difficult and take a considerable amount of time. Moreover, when used with a heatshrink, a pre-crimped lead will become much stronger and vibration resistant than a conventional soldered connection.

The 1722533023-06-L9-D pre-crimped lead is designed to provide maximum flexibility when connecting. It features a 9-mm insulated wire, with an operating temperature range between -40°C and + 125°C. The crimped connection is made with a high quality stainless steel connector.

The crimped contact has been designed to provide a reliable, secure connection, that will not simply break free of the wire or cable. It also comes pre-terminated with an insulated sleeve for added protection and to prevent shorts.

Prefabricated leads are well suited for applications where a secure connection is essential, and where space is at a premium. The lead is also pre-linked to make the connection process easier, and it can be used in both AC and DC circuits.

Working Principle

Jumper wires and pre-crimped leads are used to quickly and securely connect two points of a circuit. These components are used to jump from point A to point B within a circuit, bypassing the need for a separate component, or providing a test circuit for debugging.

Jumper wires generally consist of two alligator clips with a piece of wire in between. This wire is either covered with insulation or connected to a pre-insulated plug. The alligator clips provide a secure connection and will not easily detach due to their strong grips.

Pre-crimped leads are equipped with a crimped connector at either end of the wire. These crimped connectors are sealed with a piece of plastic or metal insulation, and the connection is made by pushing the crimped contacts together. This provides a consistently strong connection, and prevents the need for soldering.

The primary benefit of using jumper wires and pre-crimped leads is that they can quickly and securely link two points in a circuit. This eliminates the need for soldering and allows for faster prototyping and debugging. Moreover, these components are well suited for applications where space is at a premium, as they provide a secure connection without taking up much space.
