Crimp contact and cable assembly including the same

A cable assembly (100) includes an electrical wire (106) having a terminal end (108) that includes at least one exposed wire conductor (110). The cable assembly (100) also includes a crimp contact (105) having a centerline and first and second sidewalls (124, 126) extending from the centerline in opposite directions. The centerline extends parallel to a longitudinal axis (190) of the crimp contact (105). Each sidewall (124, 126) has a base section (132, 142) and a leg section (134, 144). The leg section (134, 144) extends a lateral distance from the centerline to a longitudinal edge (164, 174) of the leg section. The base section (132, 142) extends a lateral distance from the centerline to a longitudinal edge (162, 172) of the base section. The lateral distance of the leg section (134, 144) is greater than the lateral distance of the base section (132, 142) for each of the first and second sidewalls (124, 126). The leg sections (164, 174) of the first and second sidewalls (124, 126) are located opposite the base sections (172, 162) of the second and first sidewalls (126, 124), respectively. The first and second sidewalls (124, 126) surround and engage the at least one wire conductor (110).
