Individual wires or cables are fitted by inserting their end connectors into the relevant slots. Types of Jumper Wires Education: like their laboratory use, crocodile clips are sometimes used with batteries, small lightbulbs and other small electrical devices in schools to teach students about electricity. These clips have two metal strips on each end, with one directly connected to the other. They function the same way as a clothespin but can have different applications. For instance, in a school setting, to show the function of batteries, bulbs or circuity. Use wire strippers to remove the plastic insulation from the end of the wire. A light pinch should be sufficient to cut through the coating, allowing it to be easily peeled away
