Abstract
A protective housing for an alligator clip and the ends of electrical cables used for high amperage applications, which includes a relatively rigid, non-electrically conductive hollow housing defining an interior chamber configured and dimensioned to accommodate and fully enclose an alligator clip therewithin and having openings at opposite ends thereof which open onto the interior chamber therein to allow and accommodate one or more electrical cables to be inserted into and through the openings of the opposite ends of the housing to permit coupling thereof within the housing chamber with the alligator clip. The hollow housing is openable to allow for insertion and removal of an alligator clip and has an opening therethrough communicating with the internal chamber thereof. A non-electrically conductive button movably is mounted in the opening in the housing for reciprocal movement generally into and out of the chamber for opening and closing the alligator clip.
