Electronics Interconnect Production / Materials hardware Interconnect jumpersEMX ENTERPRISES Keystone Electronics series of ‘true’ Zero ohm high current SMT jumpers are designed to replace ‘Zero’ ohm resistors. Quick and easy set-up, devices are uniquely suited as true zero ohm resistor replacements without the need to change board designs or layouts. Four resistor chip sizes are offered to simplify designs and footprint template compatibility: 0402 chip size, Cat. # 5112; 0603 chip size, Cat. #5110; 0805 chip size, Cat. #5106 and 1206 chip size, Cat. #5108. Manufactured from copper with silver plating, these jumpers provide a low impedance and circuit linkage with an identical footprint as a zero ohm resistor. Suitable for high-density, high current pcb applications, these jumpers are supplied on tape and reel per ANSI/EIA-481 standards for compatibility with most vacuum and mechanical pick and place assembly systems.
