The simplest form of an on/off switch. It is just a tiny, plastic-covered metal block, which is pushed onto two pins to close that circuit. It is used to select a myriad of functions on a printed circuit board or on a peripheral device. For example, on a PC, jumpers are used to select I/O addresses and IRQs. On an IDE drive, a jumper selects between master and slave. A jumper can be used in place of a more costly DIP switch. See jumperless.

Jumper

Jumpers are used to select options on countless printed circuit boards. The more sophisticated the board, the fewer the jumpers. Having no jumpers is best if changes have to be made by the user, otherwise the board has to be pulled out of the case.
