alligator clips
Serrated electrical connectors
Alligator clips are small spring-loaded metal clamps with serrated jaws, used to make temporary electrical connections.
The jaws open and close like an alligator's mouth when you squeeze the clip.
Common in electronics testing and jumper cables: Attach the alligator clips to the battery terminals.
