Lös kabel som ansluts med gripklor mellan TP25 o IC pin 9

crocodile clips
Explanation:
Just a guess, but as we seem to be talking about integrated circuits (IC) and connecting a wire or cable to pin 9 on the IC, then a possibility is crocodile clips. I can certainly remember years ago using crocodile clips to connect wires to ICs on a computer, in the days when everything was much simpler, and it was normal to fiddle around on motherboards with a soldering iron, tweezers, wires and crocodile clips.

disagree  Mats Wiman: It's a clip, not a claw. It's about connection, not grabbing. See above
