Abstract
Cable assembly including an electrical wire and a crimp contact engaged to a terminal end of the electrical wire. The crimp contact has a centerline and first and second sidewalls that extend from the centerline in opposite directions. The centerline extends parallel to a longitudinal axis of the crimp contact. Each of the first and second sidewalls has a base section and a leg section. The leg section extends a lateral distance from the centerline to a longitudinal edge of the leg section. The base section extends a lateral distance from the centerline to a longitudinal edge of the base section. The lateral distance of the leg section is greater than the lateral distance of the base section for each of the first and second sidewalls. The leg sections of the first and second sidewalls are located opposite the base sections of the second and first sidewalls, respectively.
