Abstract

The connection refers to a connecting arrangement with a crimp connector (2) and a wire (3) fixed in place to the crimp connector. The crimp connector encompasses two clamping plates (4, 5) executed as one piece that, in a mounted state, clamp the wire (3) between them and while doing, so fix the wire (3) firmly in place with a force acting in longitudinal axial load direction (B). At least in the mounted state, the inner surfaces of the clamping plates face one another and are at least partially executed as level clamping surfaces (4a, 5a). In the mounted state, the clamping surfaces (4a, 5a) of the clamping plates (4, 5) make contact with one another, whereby an area of the wire section (3′) is pressed partially inside the one clamping plate and partially inside the other clamping plate (4, 5). At least one clamping plate (4, 5) has at least one back gripping surface (8) colliding with its clamping surface (4a, 5a) facing against the load direction (B) and extending transversally to the load direction (B), whereby the clamping surface (4a, 5a) of the other clamping plate (4, 5) extends beyond the back gripping surface (8) against the load direction (B).
