Looking for component test clips

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! Dave M

I think this may be what you are looking for:

A search on eBay for "Grayhill Test Clip" comes up with a few more, but very pricey:

I think I have a bunch of them somewhere. They might be attached to banana plugs. I'll see if I can find them.

Here is the Grayhill catalog page showing various types and sizes:

If you are looking for the spring clips behind slots on LCR meters, perhaps you can use one of those prototype plug-boards.

I've got no idea but maybe these guys may be able to help:

Someone posed a link to another supplier in the last month or so but I can't spot it.

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.
