OK, I found what I'm looking for. Someone mentioned that the solderless
breadboards use that type of clips. I found one in a drawer of old
odds-n-ends, took it apart and there they were!! There are a handful of
them in one of the breadboards; more than I need, but now I know where
to find more if I need them.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I'm looking for a few (about a dozen) of the little connectors like those
that are typically found on the small Chinese capacitor checkers. It's the
little slotted connectors into which the capacitor being tested is inserted.
It's a metal clip about half an inch wide, and accepts component leads of
any size and spacing.

I've searched Mouser & Digikey online catalogs, but no luck. You almost
have to know the exact nomenclature of the thing you're looking for to find
anything using their web catalog searches, and obviously I don't know what
to search for.

Anybody know what they're called, and/or where to buy them?

Thanks!
