Yageo RC0402JR-070RL 0 Ohm 0402 SMD Zero Ohm Jumper Resistors 75 PCS

Genuine Yageo RC0402JR-070RL 0 ohm thick-film SMD jumper resistors supplied as one lot of 75 PCS. These compact 0402 components are designed to provide a zero-ohm PCB connection while allowing the jumper to be installed using the same automated surface-mount assembly process as standard chip resistors.

The RC0402JR-070RL uses the 0402 / 1005 metric package and is rated at 1/16 W with a nominal 0 ohm resistance. Manufacturer specifications identify a 50 V rating and general-purpose zero-ohm jumper construction. The package carries a Mouser Electronics distributor label identifying Yageo, Mouser number 603-RC0402JR-070RL, and date code 1722.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND: Zero-ohm chip resistors became widely used as surface-mount manufacturing replaced hand-installed wire jumpers on production circuit boards. They allow designers to bridge PCB traces, select circuit configurations, isolate sections for testing, or provide alternate routing without introducing a separate jumper installation process. Yageo's RC series is part of the modern generation of compact thick-film chip components developed for high-volume automated PCB assembly, with the 0402 size becoming especially common as electronics designs moved toward smaller and more densely populated boards.
