Abstract
Disclosed is a two-step method for crimping a contact (1) comprising a sleeve (7), the sleeve being provided with a cylindrical portion (14) and a truncated portion (18), about one end (2) of a cable (3) inserted in this sleeve. In the first step, the cylindrical portion is crimped around bared strands (10) of the cable by means of a first jaw (12). In a second step, while the crimping pressure exerted during the first step is maintained, a second jaw (13) is shifted axially along the sleeve so as to apply stress to outer walls of the tapering portion along the bared strands of the cable and also along a sheath (11) of the cable.
