A jump wire (also known as jumper, jumper wire, DuPont wire) is an electrical wire, or group of them in a cable, with a connector or pin at each end (or sometimes without them ā simply "tinned"), which is normally used to interconnect the components of a breadboard or other prototype or test circuit, internally or with other equipment or components, without soldering.[1]

"Jumper wire" redirects here. For wire bridges, see jumper. For fly-wires, see enameled wire. For patch leads, see patch cable.
"DuPont wire" redirects here. For "DuPont connector", see Pin header.
Individual jump wires are fitted by inserting their "end connectors" into the slots provided in a breadboard, the header connector of a circuit board, or a piece of test equipment.
