Definition of "Crimp" |
The physical compression (deformation) of a contact barrel around a conductor to make an electrical and mechanical connection to the conductor [Wire Crimp shown right]. Crimp contacts are assembled to conductors outside of the connector and are subsequently installed into the connector body. When a connector is properly assembled, contacts are captured inside the connector. Retaining clips are one means of securing contacts in place inside connector cavities. When retaining clips are present, contacts shall be fully seated and locked into place by the clip. Improperly seated contacts can "push back" causing intermittent and open circuits. In all instances, non-metal contact insertion and removal tools shall be used to prevent damage to connectors, contacts, or conductors. |
