The C-Grid® Shunt/Jumper 7859 2-Circuit is a reliable switch that can be applied without soldering and is not easily disconnected accidentally. It is a low-cost alternative to DIP switches, increases current flow and decreases resistance versus DIP switches. The 2.54mm (.100 inch) pitch C-Grid® Shunt/Jumper 7859 2-Circuit features dual beam terminals: 2 points of contact per pin. It also has open and closed top versions and can be stacked end-to-end and side-to-side.
This document provides the specifications, ratings, and test results for the Molex C‑Grid 7859 series two‑circuit shunt/jumper. It includes electrical, mechanical, and environmental performance criteria, as well as ordering information.
The shunt/jumper is designed for 2.54 mm (.100") pitch C‑Grid connectors, offering open‑top and closed‑top versions, low contact resistance, and high durability for both tin/lead and gold plating options.
