This clip has 20 degree offset jaws to guard against shorting. |
The AL21C clip in addition to a single penetrator pin near the fulcrum has a cluster of hardened needles (nickel plated to prevent rust) which insures penetration of insulation on 22 gauge, 24 gauge etc. Wire. |
Two or more wires may be penetrated at once for a temporary "splice". |
The insulation "heals" as needles are withdrawn. Stripping of insulation is unnecessary. |
