jumper wires

Breadboard connection cables

Jumper wires are short electrical wires used to create temporary connections between points in a circuit.

They're essential tools in electronics prototyping, allowing hobbyists and engineers to connect components on a breadboard without soldering: I need some jumper wires to hook up the Arduino.

In automotive contexts, jumper wires connect a dead battery to a live one for a jump start.
