Abstract
A fastener bolt for clamping an electric wire includes a bolt part and a nut part. The bolt part has a head section, a thread section, and a shearing section connecting the head section and the thread section. The nut part is screwed onto the thread section. The shearing section is configured to break if a predetermined fastening torque is exceeded. The thread section is hollow and has a predetermined tensile breaking strength.
