Shunts, JumpersShunts and jumpers are types of connectors that are used to bypass, short, or otherwise connect two points in a circuit. Shunts are typically used to divert a portion of the current in a circuit to a different path, while jumpers are used to create a direct connection between two points in a circuit. Shunts and jumpers are often used to configure or customize a circuit, or to troubleshoot problems in a circuit. They may be used, for example, to disable a particular component or feature in a circuit, or to test the operation of a circuit under different conditions. Shunts and jumpers are available in a variety of different styles and configurations, including rectangular, tabbed, and wire-wrapped versions. They may be used with a variety of different conductor sizes and materials, depending on the specific application.
