The jumper is a versatile electrical accessory designed to establish quick and reliable connections between two points. It is commonly used in various applications, including automotive, electronics, and electrical systems.
Jumper cables typically consist of two insulated cables with clamp or clip attachments at each end. These clamps securely attach to battery terminals, electrical components, or connectors, allowing for the transfer of electrical current between them.
The primary purpose of a jumper is to provide a temporary electrical bridge, facilitating the flow of power or signals. They are commonly used for jump-starting vehicles with dead or weak batteries, connecting power sources to electronic devices, or creating temporary connections for testing or troubleshooting electrical systems.
