Fixed and Removable Jumper Links

Harwin SMT jumper links provide PCB designers with a cost-effective range of surface-mount links. Suitable for automated assembly placement, these products eliminate expensive hand assembly and soldering operations. One-piece jumper links are suitable for power applications; removable links are suitable for a variety of levels of signal current. Both types of links can be used in isolation or in a bank of parallel links.

Fixed jumper links eliminate vias for simple PCB layouts. The single-piece fixed SMT jumper links are a low-cost, easy-to-use solution for track layout problems. Acting as a physical bridge, the designer can simply jump the circuit off the PCB to reach the other side of the problematic track.

The contact design will also accommodate a degree of lateral misalignment, which is ideal if PCB arrays are not perfectly aligned.

Jumper links and clips are supplied on tape-and-reel packaging, making them ideal for automated assembly to the PCB. This reduces total manufacturing costs by eliminating manual assembly and soldering operations.
