ABSTRACT:
A compression connector accommodates an electrical conductor for crimping connection therein. The connector includes a connector body having a nest defined by a bottom wall and an opposed pair of upstanding sidewalls. The sidewalls are inwardly deformable upon application of a crimping force. A non-bendable die engagement extent is attached to the sidewall by a weakened portion thereof. Upon application of a crimping force the die engagement extent is cause to deform prior to the deformation of the other sidewall. This permits the sidewalls to overlap around the conductor during crimping.
