The Molex 0015291027 is a 2-position closed top shunt from the C-Grid 7859 series, designed to jumper adjacent pins on a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch header. This is the standard spacing for legacy and current C-Grid and KK interconnect systems, making the shunt a direct fit for those header rows. The closed top profile — a solid insulating cover — protects the contact beam from accidental shorting and debris ingress, a common requirement in unshrouded header applications where the shunt sits exposed on a board. Rated 5A per circuit, the shunt carries enough current for most logic-level and low-power jumper duties — configuration straps, address selection, enable lines. The 2-position grid (1 x 2) means it bridges exactly one pair of adjacent header pins. It mates with 0.025" (0.64mm) square pins on a 0.100" pitch — the industry-standard C-Grid and KK header pin. The black colour and 0.347" (8.81mm) height are consistent with the 7859 series visual and dimensional profile; no other colour variant is listed for this order code.

Product details
Frequently asked questions
What is the current rating of Molex 0015291027?
The 0015291027 is rated 5A per circuit, suitable for logic-level and low-power jumper applications.
What is the contact finish thickness on 0015291027?
The contact finish is gold at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness, supporting repeated mating cycles with low contact resistance.
What is the difference between closed top and open top shunt?
A closed top shunt, like the 0015291027, has a solid insulating cover over the contact area, protecting against accidental shorts and debris. An open top shunt exposes the contact beam for probing or visual inspection but lacks that physical protection.
