DEFINITION

Classification: 439/507

JUMPER (OR SHORT CIRCUITING COUPLING PART):

(under the class definition) Electrical connector including a first and a second contact surface interconnected by a conductor (a) comprising a coupling part* to interfit with a particular mating connector and maintain two portions of that mating connector at the same electrical potential (i.e., bridge the portions of the mating connectors); or (b) to transport electricity from one connector to another.

(1) Note. An "adapter" is capable of functioning to transmit electricity from one member to another; however that is not the intended function of an adapter. Rather, the intended function of an adapter is to allow interfitting of two members that are not physically compatible. Therefore, an adapter is not included in this and the indented subclasses.

(2) Note. A fuse or fuse holder is capable of functioning to transmit electricity from one another; however, that is not necessarily the intended function of a fuse or holder. Rather usually, the intended function of a fuse or fuse holder is to limit the quantity of electricity flowing through the device. Therefore, a fuse or fuse holder is not included in this and the indented subclasses unless it has the intended function of transmitting electricity (e.g.., a jumper may include a fuse).
