Abstract
A crimp connector includes an electrically conductive curved member having an inner surface and a leading edge extending away from and back toward the inner surface. The leading edge, curved member, and inner surface define a first volume for receiving a conductive element. The electrically conductive member, in response to an external crimping force, is configured to cause the leading edge to contact and move along the inner surface until the first volume is substantially the same as a second volume defined by the portion of the conductive element received within the first volume.
