Abstract: This contact includes a closed-section crimp barrel, which is crimped by deforming the section thereof from an initial generally convex shape to a final crimping shape in which it is compression-necked onto the strands of the cable. At least one section of the crimped barrel has, in its thickness, at least two adjacent indentations, which extend along the outer periphery of said section and which are directed inward. The invention also relates to a method of crimping such a contact and to a corresponding crimping tool.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electric contact crimping method carried out on an electric wire, said contact including a crimping section provided with a barrel for receiving the electric wire, said barrel including a part which is used to clasp the wire by deformation. The method includes a first crimping step carried out at a first crimping height by folding a first surface of the crimping section on the wire by means of a crimping tool including a stamping element and an anvil and a second crimping step carried out at a second crimping height which is lower than the first, in a localized area of the crimping section. The invention also relates to a contact obtained according to said method.

Abstract: Tool, device and machine for crimping contacts 10 possibly arranged in a housing of connector 20 onto a flexible circuit 40. The tool principally has a solid block 1 provided with a plurality of stamps 3 for crimping. The device has a tool support mounted in a press 9 and an anvil 50, the tool and the anvil coming to crimp the contacts mounted in the connector onto the flexible circuit.

Abstract: Intake device for connector modules between two treatment posts for these modules, the device having a holding arm for the modules provided with a comb positioned at the end of an arm, the comb coming to hold the connector at the level of the paddles joined with the contacts borne by the connector, the comb driving the modules between an intake post for the connectors and a crimping post for the flexible circuit onto the connector contacts.
