Blackburn 15506XSS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Blackburn 15506XSS crimping die do, and what tools is it for?
The 15506XSS is a single lug crimping die for 12 to 14 ton crimping tools. It is the die insert only, not a tool or a lug, so you need a compatible 12 to 14 ton hydraulic or battery crimper to use it. Blackburn identifies it by die code 87X and marks it brown for quick identification in a die set.
2) Will the 87X die work in my 6 ton or 15 ton crimper?
No. The 15506XSS is built for tools in the 12 to 14 ton class. A 6 ton crimper will not develop the force the die is cut for, and a tool outside that range uses a different die mount and footprint. Match the die to your crimper's stated tonnage and die holder before ordering.
3) How do I know if I need die code 87X?
Die code is the controlling detail on a crimp connector, not the wire size. The connector or lug you are installing is stamped with the code its crimp calls for, and 87X is what the 15506XSS produces. If the lug barrel says something other than 87X, this is the wrong die, even on the right tonnage tool.
4) Is the 15506XSS sold as a single die or as a full die set?
It ships as one die, sold each. Crews carrying several connector sizes need a separate die for each code they crimp, so order one per code rather than expecting a kit.
5) What is the Blackburn part number and MPN for the 12-14 ton 87X flex die?
Order it as Blackburn 15506XSS. That is both the model and the manufacturer part number, so distributors and purchasing agents can cross it without ambiguity against the 87X code and 12 to 14 ton rating.
6) Is the Blackburn 15506XSS made in the USA?
Yes, country of origin is the United States. That matters on federally funded and Buy American jobs where electrical material origin has to be documented in submittals.
