Abstract
A crimp contact is disclosed. The crimp contact has a receptacle extending in a longitudinal direction up to a receptacle end, a crimp section extending along the receptacle and beyond the receptacle end to a front end, and a wing extending from the crimp section between the receptacle end and the front end transversely to the longitudinal direction, the wing having a conductor displacing member overlapping the receptacle in the longitudinal direction. The receptacle receives a conductor in the longitudinal direction. The crimp section encloses the conductor subsequent to crimping.
