Yes the clips we make are nickel plated steel but the wire is tinned copper. When I was making custom orders I made some custom clip lead sets using 100% copper clips for a few people who really needed the low resistance. In most applications the steel clips should be fine. The resistance for 12\u201d clips is about 12mOhms and the 32\u201d clips are around 24mOhms, iirc.<\/b><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><b>The bottom lines: 1) Don&#8217;t scrimp with a crimp &#8212; get a good solid soldered clip-wire connection from Parts Candy. 2) Parts Candy wires are not fake.
