I love the range of pretty colors that crocodiles come in, as well as the easy ability to just clip on to the side of a PCB, or any old loose wire. Nothing is so quick to lash together a few half-baked prototype boards on your desk, but nothing ends up in such a tangle so quickly, either.

Crocodiles are the largest and heaviest of present-day reptiles.Cute cartoon chubby alligator or crocodile in simple flat cartoon style. The Chinese alligator is smaller, typically about 5 ft with a maximum length of about 7 ft. The American alligator is the larger of the two species of alligator and typically ranges from 6-12 ft but can grow up to 19 ft. And what’s worse is the one with the loose wires that sometimes make contact with the spring-clip body and sometimes not.Alligator have webbed feet crocodiles do not. I’ve seen this one in real life. Low price guarantee, fast shipping & free returns, and custom framing options on all prints.When wrote in asking what we use instead of crocodile clips, he included a photo that sent a chill down my spine, from a review of some clips on Amazon.


Going through the manuals, I found the larger missing ones referred to as crocodile clips. When I searched for alligator clips, I got the standard ones you see above. Anyway, I had to go through and repair and/or replace this equipment and found several probes missing these croc clips. They become easily lost or misplaced when equipment is shared, say in a lab or production place, where one piece of equipment is shared by many.
Other colors mean going to stranded hookup wire, which is less flexible, though smaller.I have a stock of assorted clips, and bought a bag (500) of medium sized (15mm jaw length, serrated) about 20 years ago that I have not yet gone through. Red and black are usually on hand. I think the lead I use is about 16Ga (1.2mm^2). If I have it on hand, I use test lead wire (heavy ultraflexible insulation over moderate sized fine stranded conductors) which is usable to 10A reliably, and 20A for a good period. They all cost more than parts and I have to remake them anyway. I haven’t bought or used commercially made assembly in years.
Handy for grabbing bus bars, but I don’t trust the current capacity at the working end. The biggest I have is the size of a small jumper cable clamp, and work about as well (not very, for significant current over significant time) and has a bug-bolt connector for 5mm (4Ga) wire. I also keep a few of the larger sizes on hand. The other jaw might as well be made of acetyl for all of the current carrying capacity it adds.I also use telephone clips (end grab with insulation piercing pins), small smooth jaw clips, several flavours of hook, and probes (also bought a pack of them a number of years ago-I think is was 10 in the box?). These are ok up to about 5A, and don’t cook until about 10A or more, as long as the wired jaw has several points in good contact.
Again, buy from a reputable brand – unless you’re really short for cash, the cost savings of cheap Chinese test clips aren’t worth the frustration.Thoughtful board design can save you a lot of grief when it comes to debugging. The smaller conductive area at the tip means they’re far less likely to accidentally short against adjacent components or traces. They grip much more securely to component legs and they take up much less space around the board. Make up your own test leads using silicone-insulated cable – the extra flexibility and heat resistance is a huge advantage compared to PVC.For most purposes, you’re better off with hooks and grabbers. Unbranded alligator clips are wobbly, have dubious electrical properties and are prone to corrosion.
A few mm^2 of board area is usually a price well worth paying for easier testing.Yeah that crimp of insulation AND stripped end is the world’s worst cheap trick. If the design goes into production, these can easily be converted to test points for in-circuit testing. Wherever you think you might need to probe, add a footprint for a pin header or a suitable RF connector.
A black prod handle with hard steel tip and 12ga wire running up through it to a loop to clip the minus lead onto serves to do base-emitter tests etc. I save the pen sized red and black prods though. The probe is used like such with it’s dangerously sharp tip, but in an instant it can be clipped to anything but a nearly flush terminal for hands free monitoring.Those blunt tip two-handed test probes and separate leads are always tossed aside for every multimeter I have. A heavier clip is on the minus lead, since most of what is measured is to ground.
