Hoffman Products T160B Nickel Plated Alligator Clip, 10A, Black Insulator
Standard nickel plated alligator clip with black insulator, 10A rating, 0.509" jaw opening, serrated three-sided jaw grip, and crimp or solder connection for temporary electrical test connections.
Why Choose the Hoffman Products T160B Alligator Clip?
The Hoffman Products T160B is a nickel plated alligator clip designed for temporary electrical connections during equipment testing, troubleshooting, and detailed electrical work. It is rated for 10A and includes a black insulator to help reduce accidental contact and short-circuit risk when used properly.
All three sides of the jaw are serrated to create a firm, removable grip on terminals, leads, and other connection points. The clip supports either crimp or solder connection and uses the same clip body as the T160 with the addition of the black insulator.
⚡ 10A Rating
Designed for temporary electrical test connections up to 10 amps
🦷 Serrated Jaw Grip
All three jaw sides are serrated to help hold terminals securely
🔧 Crimp or Solder

🛡️ Black Insulator
Covered with a black insulator for safer handling during testing
⚠️ For Temporary Connections Only
The Hoffman Products T160B is made for temporary electrical connections, not permanent wiring. Confirm the current rating, jaw opening, connection method, and test environment before use.
This clip is rated for 10A and has a 0.509" jaw opening.
📋 Common Applications
Use the T160B alligator clip for electrical equipment testing, temporary lead connections, bench testing, troubleshooting, delicate electrical work, and applications where a firm but removable grip is needed.
The internal spring keeps the clip in position until released, making it useful for connecting to terminals, test points, and conductors during diagnostic work.

📋 Basic Use Overview
1. Confirm Rating: Verify that the temporary test connection does not exceed the 10A rating.
2. Attach Lead: Connect the wire lead by crimping or soldering to the clip connection point.
3. Check Insulator: Make sure the black insulator is properly seated before use.
4. Clamp Securely: Open the jaw and place the serrated contact area firmly on the terminal, lead, or test point.
5. Remove After Testing: Release the spring-loaded clip after the temporary connection is no longer needed.
Always follow proper electrical safety procedures and disconnect power when required for the equipment being tested.
