<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide crimp contacts capable of gripping a greater range of wire gauges than known crimp contacts.SOLUTION: A cable assembly includes an electrical wire (106) and a crimp contact (105) engaged to a terminal end of the electrical wire. The crimp contact has a centerline (160) and first and second sidewalls (124, 126) that extend from the centerline in opposite directions. The centerline extends parallel to a longitudinal axis (190) of the crimp contact. Each of the first and second sidewalls has a base section (132, 142) and a leg section (134, 144). 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.</p> |
