Re: high voltage connectors
I don't think conduction will be your problem. While you need large heavy lines to carry more amps.. your electric fence isn't doing this. The higher the voltage, the more efficient it is at moving power down a wire ( voltage is electrical potential )... look at transmission power lines... something the size of piano wire running at 7kv befor eit hits the transformer on the pole for my house.. and then I'm pulling lots amps at 120 and 240... Your high voltage will be fine on an aligator clip as long is it bites... and is not loose.
Look at old tractor ignition systems... the spark plug lines simple get the center conductor bent over the outter plastic insulating wire and then pushed into the socket with a metal base for conduction...
