Alligator clips?

[Phil1977]

Hi,

does anybody know where to order small but good quality gator clips? In the size of the cheap-cheap clips you get 10 for 1€ from China, but in the quality e.g. of the Tektronix or even Rigol ground clips from scopes? I think I don't need to upload a picture, these scope probe clips usually have a black and slightly angular shaped flexible housing instead of the shapeless shrinking tube and grip much more reliably on thin wires.

Does anybody possibly know a mouser, reichelt or digikey order code?

I like Mueller clips.  They carry a miniature size.  Digikey, Mouser, and probably most distributors carry them.  You can't get 10 for $1.10, though.

Why you add the phrase "from China"? Is the Tektronix not from China? I don't know. I am pretty sure the Rigol's are from China.

I wanted to say "delivered incl. shipping for 1€ from China" because it´s an incredible economical madness that you can get so many things so cheap today. I don't say "from China" with any meaning of bad quality.

I second the recommendation of Mueller, who I believe invented the modern alligator clip, along with the crocodile clip (which is different,  seehttps://www.muellerelectric.com/products/bu-85c  ).
Their miniature alligator clips  https://www.muellerelectric.com/product_files/205/DS-BU-30.pdf  are my favorite.
Mouser and DigiKey have them for about $0.50 USD at quantity 100.
