Alligator Clips

Alligator clips, also known as crocodile clips, are spring-loaded metal clips that are used for creating a temporary electrical connection. They are named after the resemblance of their serrated jaws to the toothed jaws of a crocodile or alligator. These clips are commonly used in electrical circuits to connect two components temporarily. The jaw acts as the connection point between the components, while the clasp holds them.
