Alligator Clips
An alligator clip is a metal clamp with spring-loaded, toothed jaws that attaches to a conductor, terminal or measurement point to make a temporary electrical connection. It is used for quick connections without soldering or screws on measuring instrument and test leads, in laboratory and workshop test connections, and on low-current charging and supply leads. In this category, Konsan's insulated alligator clips of 35 mm and 42.5 mm length and 66 mm crocodile-mouth alligator clips are sold per piece in red and black. Choose the clip according to its jaw opening and length, the current it will carry, whether it is insulated, and its color for polarity distinction. On insulated models, the sleeve covering the body reduces the chance of clips lying side by side touching each other and causing a short circuit. An alligator clip is a temporary connection element; in permanent installations it does not replace a terminal block or a cable lug.
