Abstract
An electrically conductive joint between a conductor and a connector includes a metallic tube and a crimp in the tube to secure a conductor therein. The crimp has a V-shaped outer portion and a substantially V-shaped inner portion including converging walls and a truncated apex with the angle of the inner and outer V-shaped portions being substantially the same. The conductor is secured within the tube in a substantially gas impervious relationship for use in pneumatically operated probe carrying fixtures for testing printed circuit boards.
