Brücke
Explanation:
Es dürfte sich hier um einen (mehr oder weniger) U-förmigen Metallstreifen handeln: "Entfernen Sie die Brücke zwischen den Klemmen." Damit ist alles wichtige gesagt, das "flach" ist mMn so überflüssig wie ein Kropf (was sonst, gewölbt für hohen Übergangswiderstand oder fein ziseliert für gepflegtes Branding?).

flache Kabelverbindung


Explanation:
A "jumper" is a term often used for electrical cable connectors - especially those connecting railway vehicles - and I think it has crept into the general electrical vocabulary, as it has been used here. "flat" just to indicate it's not twisted - ever seen the inside of a computer, with all those cable ribbons, all of them flat? I can well envisage EMC problems generated by the electrical fields if the cables are not flat...
