A dual-in-line programming jumper pin assembly for use with electrical panel boards having dual-in-line arrays of holes therethrough. Jumper pins may be mounted as desired in slots in an insulator having a shape and size similar to the body of a dual-in-line electronic package, for purposes of electrically interconnecting two or more socket contacts mounted in a panel board. Such jumper pins having different configurations may interconnect, among others: two or more adjacent socket contacts in a line; two socket contacts on opposite sides of an array; two adjacent socket contacts with a third on the opposite side of the array; and two adjacent socket contacts with two other adjacent ones on the opposite side of the array. Means are provided on each jumper pin to anchor it firmly within the slots in the insulator. The jumper pins may be employed for interconnecting two or more socket contacts independently of the insulator.
