Clamps for male terminals

A clamp for a male terminal, comprising:

• a main body having a clamping ring and two jaws, the jaws being movable toward each other in a first direction to bring the clamping ring to a clamping position in which the clamping ring is configured to hold a male terminal,
• an engagement member movable relative to the main body in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and acting on the jaws to move the jaws toward each other in the first direction,
• a clamping member operable to move the engagement member relative to the main body in the second direction, said clamping member comprising a stem with a threaded portion and a threaded nut coupled with the stem,
• wherein
• the clamp comprises a base body on which the stem is fixed,
• said base body is rotatably connected to the main body to switch between a first position, in which the stem is inclined with respect to the second direction, and a second position, in which the stem extends in the second direction,
• elastic members are interposed between the base body and the main body, and are configured to hold the base body in the first position,
• in the first position the threaded portion of the stem is arranged relative to the engagement member such that the engagement member prevents the threaded nut from engaging the threaded portion,
• in the second position the threaded portion of the stem is arranged relative to the engagement member such that it is engageable by the threaded nut.
