In a crimp contact (10) to be connected to a cable (21) having a conductive core wire (23) and an insulating cladding portion (25) covering the core wire, the crimp contact has a cladding crimping portion (11) for crimping the cladding portion and a core wire crimping portion (13) arranged adjacent to the cladding crimping portion for crimping the core wire. The core wire crimping portion has a base portion (19) for receiving the core wire and a first core wire barrel (13a) 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. <IMAGE>
