(= correct words? In German we say "Loetleiste")

I believe that a Loetleiste is a "terminal strip." It is interesting that in German you call them Krokodilsklemmen (crocodile clamps) we call them alligator clamps!

That's really interesting! You have alligators in your country and therefore you have alligator clamps. The correct German expression has to be lizard clamps (= Eidechsenklemme), for we have neither crocodiles nor alligators but only small lizards in our country. But "Krokodilsklemme" sounds much more exciting. See you later, alligator...
