Crocodile clips, also known as alligator clips, are metal clips with spring-loaded jaws that resemble a crocodile’s or alligator’s mouth. They are commonly used to make temporary electrical connections between wires, batteries, and various components in circuits. The clips are typically used for testing, prototyping, or connecting leads to components in electronics or electrical work.
They come in a variety of sizes and materials, and some have insulated coatings to prevent accidental short circuits.
