Terminal Blocks - Accessories - Jumpers

1. Overview

Terminal block jumpers are conductive components used to establish electrical connections between adjacent terminals in terminal blocks. They serve as critical accessories in electrical systems, enabling circuit continuity, signal routing, and power distribution. With the increasing complexity of industrial automation and electrical systems, jumpers play a vital role in optimizing wiring efficiency, reducing installation time, and enhancing system reliability.

2. Major Types and Functional Classification

Type Functional Characteristics Application Examples
Shorting Jumpers Low-resistance copper/aluminum bridges for permanent connections Current transformer circuits, power distribution panels
Bridge Jumpers Modular design with multiple contact points PLC control systems, relay panels
Removable Jumpers Tool-free insertion/removal for maintenance flexibility Test equipment, temporary wiring systems
Insulated Jumpers Encapsulated design with protective housing High-voltage switchgear, hazardous environments
Marking Jumpers Integrated labeling for circuit identification Control cabinets, industrial machinery

3. Structure and Composition

Typical jumper assemblies consist of: 1) Conductive elements (copper alloys, tin-plated surfaces) 2) Insulation housing (PA66, UL94-V0 rated thermoplastics) 3) Contact springs (phosphor bronze with gold plating) 4) Mechanical locking features (snap-in or screw-fixed) 5) Optional marking inserts. The design ensures vibration resistance (up to 15G), IP20 protection rating, and compliance with IEC 60947 standards.

4. Key Technical Specifications

Parameter Typical Range Importance
Rated Voltage 250V-1000V AC/DC Determines insulation requirements
Current Capacity 10A-200A Dictates conductor cross-section
Contact Resistance <10m Impacts thermal performance
Operating Temp. -40 C to +120 C Affects material selection
Short Circuit Withstand 10kA-50kA Safety and system protection

5. Application Fields

Key industries include: - Industrial Automation (PLC cabinets, robotics) - Energy Systems (solar inverters, wind turbines) - Transportation (railway control systems, EV charging) - Building Infrastructure (HVAC systems, smart grids) - Test & Measurement (laboratory equipment, diagnostic tools)

6. Leading Manufacturers & Products

Manufacturer Product Series Key Features
Phoenix Contact FK-U/ jumper series Modular bridge design, 17.5mm pitch
Weidm ller SAM series Tool-free operation, color-coded variants
TE Connectivity CHC jumpers High vibration resistance, automotive grade
Wago 287-series CAGE CLAMP technology, 35mm DIN rail
Omron V-terminal jumpers UL/CSA certified, 50A rating

7. Selection Recommendations

Key considerations: 1) Electrical requirements (current/voltage matching) 2) Environmental conditions (temperature, corrosion) 3) Installation method (DIN rail, panel mount) 4) Maintenance needs (removable vs. fixed) 5) Compatibility with terminal block pitch (2.5mm to 100mm)

8. Industry Trends

Current development trends include: - Miniaturization (sub-2.5mm pitch jumpers) - Smart integration (IoT-enabled monitoring jumpers) - Material innovation (graphene-enhanced conductors) - Modular systems (tool-less reconfiguration) - Sustainability (halogen-free materials, RoHS compliance)
