Abstract
A crimp contact that includes an elongated contact body having loading and mating ends and a central axis extending therebetween. The contact body includes a contact wall that extends around the central axis and that defines a conductor-receiving passage of the contact body proximate to the loading end. The contact wall has an outer surface. The crimp contact also includes a sleeve wall that extends around the central axis and the outer surface of the contact wall proximate to the loading end of the contact body. The sleeve wall is sized to engage a crimping tool and the contact wall is configured to grip a conductor within the conductor-receiving passage when the sleeve and contact walls are deformed by the crimping tool.
