Claim 0:
1. A crimp connector for a wire, comprising:
first and second clamping plates which are connected via a bending portion so as to be pivotable with respect to one another and which are suitable for clamping the wire between them in a clamping state in which they are pivoted against one another;
wherein inner surfaces of the clamping plates that face one another in the clamping state are designed as clamping surfaces having a plurality of elongated depressions and elongated ribs, wherein the depressions and the ribs in each of the clamping surfaces run perpendicularly to a pivot axis of the bending portion,
wherein the ribs of one clamping plate are each arranged and dimensioned in such a way that they are at least partially arranged in the depressions of the other clamping plate in the clamping state such that a wire clamped between the clamping plates in the clamping state is formed into a meandering shape and forms a number of waves, and
wherein distance between adjacent depressions in at least one of the first and second clamping plates varies along the clamping surface on a straight line parallel to the pivot axis.
