Crimp contact which can easily be reduced in size

摘要

In a crimp contact to be connected to a cable having a conductive core wire and an insulating cladding portion covering the core wire, the crimp contact has a cladding crimping portion for crimping the cladding portion and a core wire crimping portion arranged adjacent to the cladding crimping portion for crimping the core wire. The core wire crimping portion has a base portion for receiving the core wire and a first core wire barrel extending from the base portion for crimping the core wire to cover an outside of the core wire. The first core wire barrel has a relatively longer length from the base portion at a part relatively far from the cladding crimping portion and a relatively shorter length from the base portion at another part relatively near to the cladding crimping portion.
