Updated: 10/01/2023 by Computer Hope
An alligator clamp or alligator clip is a clip that connects a device or wire to another device or wire and resembles an alligator's mouth. For example, some antistatic wrist straps use an alligator clip to attach the wrist straps to a computer case or other antistatic equipment.

Tip
When connecting an alligator clip to a computer case, make sure it is an unpainted surface and is metal and not plastic.
