This steel crocodile clip can be used to create temporary, flexible connections safely and is one of the simplest methods of linking up components cables and wires in circuits.
The clip has large spring-loaded jaws which open up to 30 mm in width, making it simple to attach to and detach from batteries or components. The enhanced finger grip on the handle makes this clip easy to use and once clamped in place allows the user to release the grip on the connector securing it in place.

Applications

Crocodile clips (also alligator clips) are common accessories used to create flexible, temporary or experimental electrical connections in industrial settings or laboratories. For example, this could be between two wires or between an electrical lead and the anode or cathode of a device (i.e. the entrance and exit points of an electrical current).
Crocodile clips are also frequently used in education to demonstrate the function of batteries, bulbs or circuits. Larger crocodile clips are often used in garages and car maintenance, where they are used with battery chargers, booster cables and jump leads or for welding operations, where they can also usefully absorb excess heat.

Are Crocodile clips the same as Alligator clips?

Alligator clips and Crocodile clips are the same accessories, using either term is correct, and most people will know what you are talking about if you use either term.

How do crocodile clips work?

A crocodile clip (also alligator clip) is a sprung metal clip with long, serrated jaws which is used for creating a temporary electrical connection. Functioning much like a spring-loaded clothespin, the clip's tapered, serrated jaws are forced together by a spring to grip an object.
