ABSTRACT:
A jumper connector (15) for connecting contact pins or posts (14) protruding from pin header (12) mounted on a printed circuit board (11) has an accessible conductive core (16) made of a conductive elastomer. Two apertures (17) extend through the conductive core so as to tightly fit on the pins or posts (14) that are to be electrically connected one to another. An insulating mantle (18) covers the accessible core (16), such that the connector is rendered simple in structure, produced inexpensively, adapted to a high density arrangement of those pins or posts, and the electric resistance of the core can be set at an easily adjustable level.
