1. A crimp contact, comprising:
a crimp barrel having a crimp base, a pair of crimp shoulders, a crimp region, and an impedance matching region, the crimp shoulders in the crimp region form a longitudinal seam when bent around an electrical conductor, an outer surface of the crimp barrel in the impedance matching region has a gradual expansion along a direction of the longitudinal seam, the gradual expansion is an entirety of the outer surface of the crimp barrel in the impedance matching region, the crimp barrel has a protrusion extending from the gradual expansion in a longitudinal direction along the electrical conductor.
