This is a 4 pack of wires that are pre-terminated with an alligator (crocodile) clip on one end and a hookup pigtail (male jumper connector) on the other. Alligator clips are a staple part for any workbench and with these cables you will be able to easily incorporate those clips into a breadboard, development platform, or anything else that you would normally be able to attach a male jumper connector to.

Crocodile Clips (CROCCLIP) 64 Bit
The kit comprises a two-part plastic greenhouse, Kitronik environmental control board, water pump, Kitronik ZIP Stick, and Mini Prong soils moisture sensor. Also included are 5 crocodile clips, ZIP extension cable and a small screwdriver. Just add a micro:bit, seeds, and then some water and you will have everything you need!
To connect larger parts (such as variable resistors) you can either solder single core wire to their contacts or avoidsoldering by using crocodile clip leads to connect them to short pieces of wire pushed into the breadboard.
YELLOW - to switched 12v (comes on when ignition is on) This was a bit trickier to find. On the LEFT of the space under the back seat is the central locking control unit and some orange relays. Using a small screwdriver you can release the little tab holding the 3 relays in place and lift them up a bit to inspect the wires going into them. I think that it was the middle of the 3 relays, but not sure, that has Purple/Black wire (looks a bit fatter than the others) going into it, which showed on the meter as going on and off with the ignition, so I opted for this one. By the LEFT corner you'll see a load of wires... find the Purple/Black fat one! Once I'd found it, I used a Scotch-lock (SL) (one of those plastic clips with a metal insert that you clamp over the two wires you want to connect) and just clamped it onto the wire so I could measure it again to check. Proved OK, so undid the SL and put the YELLOW wire in and clamped shut to connect them both.
Opening the package, the micro:bit kit is rather minimalist. The board itself, a short USB lead, a battery box and a pair of AAA cells, an instruction leaflet, and the board itself. Everything is child-sized, the micro:bit is a curved-corner PCB about 50mm by 40mm. The top of the board has a 5 by 5 square LED matrix and a pair of tactile switches, while the bottom has the surface-mount processor and other components, the micro-USB and power connectors, and a reset button. Along the bottom edge of the board is a multi-way card-edge connector for the I/O lines with an ENIG finish. On the card edge connector several contacts are brought out to wide pads for crocodile clips with through-plated holes to take 4mm banana plugs, these are the ground and 3V power lines, and 3 of the I/O lines. 2ff7e9595c
