This 35 A alligator clip set is sized for jumper cables, multimeter probe leads, and battery test connections — sold individually as red or black, or as a matched red+black pair. The 75 mm body has serrated copper-plated jaws, a steel torsion spring, and a moulded plastic insulator boot to protect against accidental contact during use.
Product Description
This is a 75 mm crocodile alligator clip rated for 35 A continuous current, intended for temporary electrical connections during multimeter measurements, jumper cable assemblies, and battery testing. The clip is supplied with a moulded plastic insulator already fitted to the rear so the spring contact is shielded against accidental shorting against the user's hand or other tools.
Unlike permanently-fixed wire harness clamps, this clip uses a serrated jaw and torsion spring to grip onto battery posts, terminal lugs, busbars, or bare wire ends with enough force to maintain conductivity but light enough to release easily. Three buy options are available: a single red clip, a single black clip, or a matched red+black pair for full-circuit jumper or test-lead use.
Key Benefits
- 35 A continuous rating handles 12 V battery testing and bench-supply duty
- Serrated copper-plated jaws bite onto posts, lugs, and bare wire equally well
- Moulded insulator boot reduces the risk of short across the spring contact
- Available individually (red OR black) or as matched red+black pair for full circuits
- 75 mm body fits between automotive battery posts and bench-supply binding posts
Key Features
The defining feature is the combination of jaw size and current rating. At 75 mm length and 35 A, this clip sits in the "automotive battery test" envelope — small enough to grip a motorcycle battery post or a bench binding post, large enough to clamp over a car battery terminal lug. The metal body uses a copper-plated finish for low contact resistance, and the spring is sized to resist relaxation over hundreds of open-and-close cycles. The plastic insulator boot stays in place under repeated handling rather than slipping or splitting.

What's Included
- 1 x alligator clip (red, black, or matched pair, depending on selected variant)
Cable not included. Attach to wire using solder, crimp lugs, or screw terminals depending on the rear connection style.
Compatibility & Applications
This clip is suitable for any 12 V or low-voltage DC circuit where a temporary mechanical connection is needed and the load is below 35 A continuous. Typical applications include:
- Jumper cable assemblies for low-current battery service
- Multimeter and oscilloscope probe lead extensions
- Bench power supply test leads
- Battery charger output clamps for hobby and small-engine batteries
- Hobby electronics, breadboarding, and DIY troubleshooting
Not suitable for: mains AC connections (the boot is not rated for line voltage), continuous high-current loads above 35 A, or heavy-vehicle jumper-cable duty (use 100 A+ jumper clamps).

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I buy single clips or the matched pair?
If you are repairing or rebuilding existing test leads where one clip needs replacement, buy the single red or single black variant. If you are building a new jumper or test cable from scratch, the matched red+black pair is the right choice — the color coding gives you unambiguous polarity reference.
What does the 35 A rating actually allow me to do?
35 A continuous covers 12 V battery testing duties for cars, RVs, motorcycles, and lawn equipment, plus full multimeter and bench-supply test duty. Cranking current during a real engine start is far higher than this for a few seconds, so for full jumper-cable duty (assisting another vehicle to start) you need 100 A or 200 A clamps instead.
How do I attach a wire to the clip?
The rear of the clip has either a solder tab or a small screw terminal, depending on the production batch. For solder tabs, tin the wire end and solder it to the tab; for screw terminals, strip about 5 mm and clamp under the screw. Slide the boot forward to cover the joint when finished.
How fast does shipping take?
Orders are dispatched from regional fulfillment partners in North America, Europe, and Asia. Typical delivery is 5 to 15 business days depending on destination country, with tracked shipping included. Specific timelines per destination are listed in the Shipping Policy.
How does this clip compare to others in its category?
Within the alligator-clip category, the meaningful comparison points are jaw length, current rating, and insulator quality. This product uses 75 mm jaws, a 35 A rating, and a moulded plastic boot — the configuration that fits the largest installed base of automotive and bench-power test applications and drives the lowest return rate within our small-electronics category.
