Blackburn 15517XSS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What tonnage crimper does the Blackburn 15517XSS die work with?
The 15517XSS flex die is rated for 12 to 14 ton crimping tools. Put it in a press or hydraulic head in that class; a 6 ton or 15 ton head takes a different die family, so match the tool's ton rating before ordering.
2) What does die code 80X mean on a Blackburn crimping die?
80X is the die index code embossed on the die set. Connector manufacturers publish a crimp chart listing the die code required for each conductor size and lug, so you select the connector first, read off the code, then use the die stamped with that code. The 15517XSS is the 80X die for 12 to 14 ton tooling.
3) Can I use this die on a 12 ton tool if my other dies are for a 15 ton head?
No. The 15517XSS is built for 12 to 14 ton tooling only. Dies are not interchangeable across tonnage classes, so a 15 ton head needs the 80X die cut for that class instead.
4) Is the Blackburn 15517XSS a die for crimping lugs, or a cutting/other accessory?
It is a crimping die for compression lugs and connectors, not a cutter. Blackburn catalogues the 15517XSS as a lug crimping tool die, stamped with die code 80X.
5) Does the 15517XSS come as a matched pair or a single half?
It sells as one each, and that unit is the complete flex die set for the 80X crimp, not a loose half. Order one per die code you need to cover.
6) Is the Blackburn 15517XSS die made in the USA?
Yes, country of origin is the United States. That matters on public and federally funded work where domestic sourcing is written into the spec.
