Details

Clip size and current

Small clips suit classroom experiments and test points. Larger clips are better for battery maintenance, low-voltage power and temporary clamping.

Wire length, gauge and color

Common requests include red and black leads, multi-color test leads and fixed-length assemblies. Clear length and wire gauge make quotation faster.

Terminal or end connection

Alligator clip leads can be matched with banana plugs, DC plugs, ring terminals, bare wire or other ends. Product photos help Annie identify the closest option.

Packing by sales channel

Education kits may use set packing, repair tools may use red/black pair packing, and distributors may need barcode or customer item labels.
