Claims2
An electrical test connecting device comprising:
- an alligator clip including
- a pair of conductive gripping jaws attached to each other and a conductive leg connected to each jaw, an inner surface of one leg being opposed to an inner surface of the other leg,
- spring means for biasing said jaws towards each other,
- an electrical conductor connected to one of said legs adapted to be connected to a desting device;
- and
- a conductive clip attached to the inner surface of said other leg, said clip being resilient, elongated, and providing oppositely longitudinally extending arcuate end portions, one of said arcuate end portions being fixedly secured on the transverse edge thereof to said inner surface, said other arcuate end portion being biased toward said other leg, said clip adapted to frictionally retain and conductively engage an electrical terminal disposed between said clip and the inner surface of said other leg.
