Crimp contact which can easily be reduced in size

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 comprising:

• 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 comprising:
• 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 having 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;
• and
• a second core wire barrel extending from the base portion and cooperated with the first core wire barrel for crimping the core wire to cover the outside of the core wire, the second core wire barrel having a first part relatively far from the cladding crimping portion, a second part relatively near to the cladding crimping portion, the second part being shorter in length from the base portion than the first part, and an extending end, the extending end having a step portion between the first and the second parts.
