SMD jumpers handle overload currents up to 158 A for power applicatio

May 16, 2025 By Redding Traiger Leave a Comment

Electronic circuits use zero-ohm jumpers to simplify routing, manufacturability, testing, and enable various design options. Jumpers with higher current capability allow for a smaller jumper chip to be used, which can reduce the space needed for a design. Traditional thick film jumpers handle up to 3 amps, while high-current versions max out at 10 amps. […]
