Abstract

The invention relates to an electrical contact device and, in particular, a crimp contact device for a cable. The crimp contact device includes a cable conductor connection region and a cable insulation crimp region. The cable insulation crimp region includes a fixing device disposed along an inner surface thereof.

Claims (28)

1. A crimp contact device comprising:

a cable conductor connection region; and

a cable insulation crimp region having a fixing device disposed along an inner surface thereof, the fixing device including

a first fixing section, and

a second fixing section separately positioned from the first fixing section such that the first fixing section is positioned adjacent to the second fixing section, and a material layer thickness of the first fixing section is different than a material layer thickness of the second fixing section.

2. A crimp contact device comprising:

a cable conductor connection region; and

a cable insulation crimp region having a fixing device disposed along an inner surface thereof, the fixing device including

a first fixing section having a recess, and

a second fixing section having a protrusion and being positioned separately from the first fixing section.

3. A crimp contact device comprising:

a cable conductor connection region; and

a cable insulation crimp region having a fixing device disposed along an inner surface thereof, the fixing device including

a plurality of first fixing sections, and

a plurality of second fixing sections separately positioned from the first fixing section, such that the plurality of first and second fixing sections are positioned adjacent to each other, and each of the plurality of fixing sections are spaced from each other along both a longitudinal and a transverse length of the inner surface.

4. The crimp contact device according to claim 3 , wherein the plurality of first fixing sections are adjacent to each other along a longitudinal length of the inner surface.

5. A crimp contact device comprising:

a cable conductor connection region; and

a cable insulation crimp region having a fixing device disposed along an inner surface thereof, the fixing device including

a plurality of first fixing section sets spaced apart from each other along a transverse length of the inner surface and

a second fixing section separately positioned from the first fixing section sets, and being structurally different than the plurality of first fixing section sets.

6. The crimp contact device according to claim 5 , wherein the cable insulation crimp region includes a plurality of second fixing sections staggered between the plurality of first fixing sections.

7. The crimp contact device according to claim 6 , wherein the plurality of second fixing sections are staggered between the plurality of first fixing section sets.

8. The crimp contact device according to claim 6 , wherein each of the plurality of first fixing sections includes a ribbed structure, a grooved structure, a fluted structure, a furrowed structure or a serration.

9. The crimp contact device according to claim 8 , wherein each of the plurality of first fixing sections has a height or depth of approximately 20 to 250 μm.

10. The crimp contact device according to claim 8 , wherein each of the plurality of second fixing sections includes a cam-like structure.

11. The crimp contact device according to claim 8 , wherein each of the plurality of second fixing sections has a height of approximately 40 to 400 μm.

12. The crimp contact device according to claim 6 , wherein each of the plurality of first fixing sections includes a serration and each second fixing section includes a protrusion.
