The clips for tube tops are called what?
Sorry for the very dumb and basic question. Ive done a google search and am getting rather irritated now that i cant find the answer.
What are the clips that have the wire soldered to them, that attach to the pins on top of some tubes called?

I almost wish they were called something else because whenever I hear "plate cap" I think of a capactior not a tube connector, and then I get confused.

eh.. somehow I thought they were called clips and I kept coming up with the wrong thing. I still couldnt find the simple steel ones.. But i just bought some nice looking ceramic ones off the 'bay. Wont look stock..but then again, who cares as long as its functional.

Depending on the cap size, you can break apart snap-in fuse holders and use the ends.

Fahnestock Clips?
Fahnestock Clips were sometimes used for early external plate and grid connections.
These were used more widely as "Antenna", "Ground", and "Phone" connectors in the crystal radio days. |

We called them "top caps".
