Buy Jumper Wires for Arduino Microcontroller at Funduino
Jumper cables (jumper wires), along with the microcontroller and breadboard, are essential in any project. A jumper cable is a cable or electrical wire that has a connector or pin at each end. The flexible cables are the link between the logic unit and the various sensors and actuators. The special feature of the jumper cables within a microelectronics project is the flexible application possibilities: The plugs of the cables can be plugged into the breadboard, the microcontrollers or other electronic components within seconds, this saves the often very cumbersome soldering work.
Jumper Wires at a glance - shapes and lengths
In our online store you can find jumper cables in different colors, shapes and lengths. The cables are compatible with the common connector systems with a pitch of 2.54mm. Single board computers from Arduino or Raspberry Pi use this connector system.
We distinguish between a male and a female end of the jumper cable. The male end of the jumper wire has a pin, the female end has a plug.
Furthermore, the Jumper Wire differ fundamentally only in their length. In our store you can find the cables as ready made parts with 15cm, 20cm, 50cm or 100cm length. If this is not enough for you, we also offer the cables by the meter.
The special refinement of the cables consists in your rainbow color. Each of the Jumper Wire, which are available as a 10 or 40 bundle, has one of ten different colors.
Color coding of the jumper wires
Within microelectronics, a set of predefined meanings of each jumper wire color has become accepted. Although there is no official standard for the identification, we do not want to deprive you of the color codes. The most popular ones are as follows:
- Red for power (5V, 3.3V or VIN)
- Black for ground (GND)
- Yellow for SCL
- Green for SDA
In addition to the top four color codes, there are six other colors in the wire harnesses. The colors white, gray, purple, blue, orange and brown are not "fixed". We personally use the jumper wire to distinguish the different signal lines of the sensors.
