Jumper resistor
A resistor with a value of zero ohms. Zero-ohm resistors are used as interconnect points on a PWB. They may also be used to tie two circuit points together while in system test so an internal trace may be accessed but removed in the final application, removing the physical test point. When an array of zero-ohm resistors are used in a single package the term jumper chip array may be used. The term zero-ohm resistor is somewhat of a misnomer in that they will tend to have the same tolerance as any other value in the same package style, so there may be a value attached to a zero-ohm resistor.
