Jumper wires

Jumper wires are simple, flexible electrical wires used to make connections between components on a breadboard, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or any DIY electronics setup — without soldering.

🔌 Types of Jumper Wires:

Type	Description	Where to Use
Male to Male (M-M)	Pin to pin (breadboard to breadboard or Arduino)	Most common
Male to Female (M-F)	Pin to socket (Arduino to sensor/module with header)	Sensor hookups
Female to Female (F-F)	Socket to socket (modules, Raspberry Pi GPIO)	Pi or ESP32

🧰 Typical Specs:

• Length: 10cm, 20cm, 30cm, up to 1m
• Core: Single-strand copper or tinned wire
• Connector: Dupont-style pins
• Color-coded for easy identification

✅ Why Use Jumper Wires:

• No soldering needed — perfect for prototyping
• Reusable, fast plug-and-play setup
• Comes in variety packs with different lengths and colors
• Compatible with:
  • Breadboards
  • Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi
  • Sensors, LEDs, Displays

🧠 Use Cases:

• Testing circuits
• Connecting sensors and modules
• Linking components across multiple breadboards
• Learning electronics!

⚠️ Tips:

• Always match male → female properly
• Don’t pull wires from the tip — pull from the plastic base to avoid damage
• For permanent builds, switch to soldered connections
