PARROT INVENT – SOMETHING WAS MISSING BEFORE ®
Parrot vs. Alligator Clips
Test clips are used as test probes, test leads, test clips for multimeters, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers. The Parrot Gripper Clip invention, provides 3 major advantages even toward Mueller alligator clips, Fluke crocodile clips, one hook or two hooks Hirschman clips.
1) High Voltage Insulation – al over its body, up to the tip. Allows high voltage, hands on measurements .
2) Low Point Contact Resistance due to the sharp metal tip.
3) Accessibility in narrow places.
Let’s look at the Parrot vs. Alligator Clips Evaluation:
PARROT™ CLIP
→ High insulation – 1000V CAT III, according to IEC 1010-231
→ Allows high voltage, hands-on measurements
→ Low point contact, hands-on resistance = approximately 3 mΩ (metal tip with sharp edges)
→ Low clip-on, hands-free connection resistance = approximately 3 mΩ (made between two metal parts)
→ Good accessibility, can be used in small, narrow places
→ Can be used for placing or removing components
→ Light body, preventing detachment of the clip-on connection due to its weight
ALLIGATOR CLIP
→ Clip-on connection can be detached by movement of the lead or its weight.
→ Low clip-on, hands-free connection resistance = approximately 3 mΩ (made between two metal parts)
→ Poor accessibility in small narrow places
→ Plastic insulation is affecting easy gripping with the Alligator clip.
→ Alligator clips and other hook gripper clips, including two-hook clip designs, cannot be developed to meet the new quality and reliability requirements of users of modern multimeters, oscilloscopes, voltmeters, DMMs, ohmmeters and spectrum analyzers.
→ The Parrot™ Clip Models and Probes are available in different shapes and sizes. The Parrot Clip provides an advanced solution for Fluke, Tektronix and other high-quality professional or hobbyist equipment.
