A wire clamp for earthing a metal structure includes a body (10) having a tapped cylindrical cavity opening at a first end of the body, the other end being closed by a bottom (12) pierced with a hole (13) for the passage of a screw (20) for fastening the body onto metal structure, the body having over at least a part of the tapped cavity two through-slots facing each other that are formed along two generatrices of the cylindrical cavity and opening at the first end and a threaded plug (30) having a formation for rotational driving and adapted to helicoidally engage in the tapping of the cylindrical cavity to clamp a core of an electrical wire against the bottom of the slots, the plug having a central through-hole (32) adapted to allow passage of a tool for rotationally driving the screw for fastening the body onto the metal structure.
A wire clamp (1) for earthing a metal structure comprising a body (10) having a tapped cylindrical cavity (11) opening at a first end of the body, the other end being closed by a bottom (12) pierced with a hole (13) for the passage of a screw (20, 25) for fastening the body onto metal structure, the body having over at least a part of the tapped cavity two through-slots (14) facing each other that are formed along two generatrices of the cylindrical cavity and opening at said first end and
A wire clamp according to 2, characterized in that the hole (12) at the bottom of the wire clamp body is of conical form (15) widening towards the open end of the wire clamp body and the screw head (21) is of complementary conical form.
