Abstract
A jumper assembly includes a first pin with a first surface discontinuity, and a jumper shunt for providing an electrical connection between the first pin and a second pin. The jumper shunt includes a clip configured to catch on the first surface discontinuity to keep the jumper shunt in contact with the first pin. Another jumper assembly includes a first pin and a blocking portion on the first pin. A jumper shunt is configured to move along the first pin with the blocking portion limiting motion of the jumper shunt along the first pin beyond the blocking portion.
