Wire Gauge, Current & Safe Use
Alligator clip leads typically use flexible multi-strand wire, often rated between 22AWG (up to ~3A) and 18AWG (up to ~7A for short bench runs). For higher current experiments, always check wire cross-section and manufacturer's datasheet.
| AWG | Typical Amp Rating (DC) | Length Limit (cm) |
|---|---|---|
| 22 | Up to 3 | <= 60 |
| 20 | Up to 5 | <= 80 |
| 18 | Up to 7 | <= 100 |
Avoid exceeding the wire's current rating or using uninsulated leads for high-voltage tasks. If unsure, start with short runs and confirm with a multimeter (see Communica's Test & Measurement selection).
Troubleshooting Tips
- Poor connections? Clean any oxidation from jaws, and gently squeeze with pliers to restore tension.
- Wire broken at the clip? Inspect for strain and re-terminate with a new crimp or solder joint.
- Mixed up leads? Use permanent labels or purchase sets with at least 5 colour codes for clarity.
