jumper wire
Electrical connection shortcut
A jumper wire is a short electrical wire used to create a temporary connection between two points in a circuit.
In electronics work, jumper wires connect components on breadboards or bypass damaged sections: Use a jumper wire to bridge those two terminals.
Jumper cables for car batteries are heavy-duty versions of the same concept.
