Breadboard jumper wire
● Breadboard jumper wire Introduction
What is breadboard jumper wire?
The breadboard jumper wire is a wire with pins at both ends, which can be easily inserted into the breadboard and used as a circuit connecting wire.
There are many colors of breadboard jumper wires. Breadboard jumper wires of different colors have no difference except for different colors. However, different colors of breadboard jumper kit are generally selected according to different purposes. For example, red is used as +5V power supply. black as ground, yellow as +12V and so on. This method can help learners to quickly distinguish the function of each line in the circuit.
● Breadboard jumper wires types
The breadboard jumper wire is generally divided into single-strand wire, pre-cut wire, colored Dupont Line three types.
1.Single-strand wire
The most common used breadboard jumper wire cable is single-strand wire, also called solid wire.
They are usually available in a variety of colors, sold in bundles or reels, and have different breadboard jumper wires length. The recommended breadboard jumper wire size is 0.64mm (22awg).
| Number of cores | 17 strands of copper wire |
|---|---|
| Complete outer diameter | 1.72mm |
| Tin | Double-ended stripping about 3MM |
| Pressure resistance | 300v can pass 1.2A current |
| Temperature | 80°c |
| Voltage | 300v |
| Color | red, black, yellow, green, blue, white, orange, brown, gray, purple |
| Breadboard jumper wires length | 10/15/20/30CM |
| Leather material | Lead-free PVC insulation, uniform insulation thickness, easy to strip and cut |
| Scope of application | Mainly used for internal connection lines of electrical resistance equipment |
● Single-strand wire features
1. Good performance
Copper wire has strong electrical conductivity, strong flexibility and excellent heat resistance.
2. Various colors
Now that there are multiple colors of wire available, there's no need to make excuses for not having a specific color for the power cord. Using different colors to distinguish different properties of the circuit can make the circuit on the breadboard more clear;
3. Appropriate length
When this bundle of breadboard jumper wire is used, the breadboard jumper wires length can be cut to a suitable one for wiring according to the requirements;
2. Pre-cut wire
Some breadboards are sold with pre-cut and bent breadboard jumper wires, and sometimes the wire ends are tinned to reduce contact resistance. These pre-cut wires come in different lengths and colors, and are usually also divided into different colors based on breadboard jumper wires length.
Using breadboard jumper wires can easily and quickly help learners build breadboard circuits.
As can be seen from the figure, there are 6 available Breadboard jumper wire pin, and the detailed description of each Breadboard jumper wire pin is shown in the table:

● Features of pre-cut wire
1. Various lengths
There are usually 8 to 9 different breadboard jumper wires length of pre-cut wire; wire ends are tinned - the ends of the leads are usually tinned, which is more durable than leads that are not tinned.
2. Storage box
These wires usually come with a suitable breadboard jumper wires box for easy storage and repeated use.
3, suitable for cutting
Most of the breadboard jumper wires awg are 22awg in diameter, suitable for insertion and removal on breadboards, and can also be cut to the appropriate length for applications.
4. The wiring is firm and the transmission is stable

Compared with single-strand wires, the ends of DuPont wires are not easy to break in the holes of the breadboard;
Flexible
The inside of DuPont wire is often multi-strand metal wire, which is softer than single-strand wire. Therefore, as a cable, it is more flexible and durable;
Rich colors
DuPont wires usually come in multiple colors, so they can represent different leads in a circuit;
Recyclable
Plug and play, no need to solder, can be recycled.
Long service life
PVC material, high temperature resistant wire, insulation flame retardant, more durable.
Breadboard jumper wire application example
As an electronics enthusiast, engineer, or hobbyist, are you often faced with the experience of DIY on a breadboard? How to lay out clean, understandable, and fast circuits on breadboards is something we struggle with all the time. The breadboard assistant brought to you here is our recommended 140 breadboard jumper, which can easily and quickly help you build your own breadboard circuit.
Summary of the above three types of breadboard jumper wire:
There is no perfect choice for the breadboard jumper wires types, breadboard jumper wires length, color and durability used in the breadboard wiring, and it needs to be determined according to the situation.
For students, since the circuit content needs to be replaced frequently, it is more suitable to use the double male DuPont cable to complete the experiment.
For professional test circuits, it is more professional to use single-strand wires to complete circuit construction.
