I'm looking at this schematic for the TSL1401 line scan camera module and trying to understand what the various pins do. I understand what the labels SI, CLK, AO and Vdd mean but I'm totally lost when it comes to what the J1, J2 & J3 mean.

Here is a picture with the J labeled:

Can anyone here shine some light on this? I looked it up online and it seemed like it was a pretty standared term but I can't find any good documentation on it.

J1, J2 and J3 are reference designators for connectors (or in some cases specifically pin headers).

The "J" stands for "jumper", although the designator is also used for off-board connectors as well as jumper pins.

    \$\begingroup\$ I use "J" for "jack" as well as for Jumper. \$\endgroup\$ – Peter Bennett May 31 '16 at 16:15

    \$\begingroup\$ I actually see "J" used for "jack" more frequently than I see it used for "jumper". \$\endgroup\$ – DerStrom8 May 31 '16 at 17:27
