A crimp connection between a flexible flat contact part (1) and a crimping ferrule (2) enclosing this contact part (1), wherein the crimp connection is characterized in that the crimping ferrule (2) has a base (3) and two side plates (4a, 4b) adjoining the base on opposite sides. The base (3) has at least one groove (6) towards the interior of the ferrule and transversely to the longitudinal ferrule axis (5), and ribs (7) arranged at the free ends of the side plates (4a, 4b). The ribs at the free end are disposed in such a way that, after crimping has taken place and with the side plates (4a, 4b) rolled in towards the interior of the ferrule, the said ribs press the flexible contact part (1) into the corresponding groove (6) and engage with the said part essentially positively into the corresponding groove (6).
