Abstract

The collapsing bridge crimp comprises a central portion and two mutually-opposite side arms extending from the central portion. Each side arm comprises a first portion attached to the central portion, the first portion being inwardly curved, and a second portion extending from the first portion and located above the central portion. The second portion of each side arm is substantially straight and defines an upwardly-oriented angle with reference to the central portion. The second portion also has a free end provided with an end face, the end face of both side arms defining a top-opened wire-receiving groove between them.
