The Defense Department has qualified the zero-Ohm jumper resistors manufactured by State of the Art, Inc. to MIL-PRF-32159. This new specification qualifies these zero-Ohm jumpers at three product levels: Space level T (including 100% burn-in), established reliability product level M, and industrial product level C.

Military-grade jumpers are available in 13 case sizes with solderable, wire-bondable and epoxy-bondable termination finishes, and are identical to the MIL-PRF-55342 zero-Ohm jumper resistors that the company has been manufacturing for over 25 years. These zero-Ohm jumpers are also suited for aerospace, biomedical, communications and defense applications. The jumper resistors are priced at less than $1 each in production quantities.
