Blackburn 15511SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn 15511SS die used for?
It's a hex crimping die for compression lug and connector work, used in a 14-ton crimping tool. Blackburn identifies it as die code 54, and it carries the olive/purple color coding used to match die to connector. Sold individually, one die per order.
2) Will the 15511SS fit my crimper, or do I need to check the tonnage first?
Check tonnage first. The 15511SS is a 14-ton die, so it belongs in a 14-ton head. Dies are not interchangeable across tonnage classes, and putting a 14-ton die in a different-rated tool will not seat the crimp correctly. If your press is a 12-ton or 6-ton, you need the die set built for that tool instead.
3) What does the purple and olive color coding on a Blackburn hex die mean?
The color is the match-up system. Compression lugs and splices are stamped or color marked with a die code, and you use the die whose code and color match the connector. On the 15511SS that pairing is die code 54, olive/purple. If the lug you're crimping calls out a different code or color, this is the wrong die for that connection even if it fits your tool.
4) Is the Blackburn 15511SS a single die or a matched pair?
It's ordered as one each, a single die item under part number 15511SS. If your 14-ton head takes a mating upper and lower half, order the quantity your tool requires.
5) Does the 15511SS crimp a hex or an indent pattern?
Hex. The 15511SS produces a full hexagonal compression crimp, which is what most copper and aluminum compression lugs and splices are rated for. If your connector spec calls for an indent or point crimp, this die won't produce that pattern.
6) Is the Blackburn 15511SS made in the USA for government or institutional specs?
Country of origin is the United States, which is what agency and institutional buyers with domestic-content purchasing rules generally need on file. Order it by manufacturer part number 15511SS.
