Alligator Clip

Alligator clips, often referred to as crocodile clips, are versatile tools used for creating temporary electrical connections. They feature spring-loaded jaws that securely grip onto wires or terminals, making them ideal for testing circuits, connecting batteries, or establishing quick connections in various applications. Typically, alligator clips are color-coded, with red often indicating positive and black indicating negative, following industry standards for easy identification. They come in different sizes and materials, such as insulated or heavy-duty versions, and are widely used in electrical work, laboratories, and DIY projects. The red and black colors help users quickly identify the polarity of the connections they are making.
