A clamp for a male terminal of a power source, consisting of a frustoconical body projecting out of a base surface that is part of the source against which it rests with its greatest diameter. The clamp comprises at least one first ring-shaped portion with an open section of its circumference. Said first ring-shaped portion has such a diameter that a predetermined radial clearance exists when it axially fits upon said frustoconical body, and also has two jaws which axially project out of its circumference and are located at the ends of the open section of the circumference. The jaws are in opposed, spaced-apart relationship and a device is adapted to cause them to move toward each other to clamp the ring-shaped portion around the frustoconical body, by eliminating the radial clearance. The clamp comprises at least one first plate-like element associated with said ring-shaped portion of the clamp on the side on which it is inserted onto the frustoconical body of the male terminal, which is made of an electrically non-conductive material and has a through hole whose diameter is adapted to create a radial interference with the diameter of the frustoconical body of the male terminal proximate to said base surface from which it protrudes.
