Blackburn 15506SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Blackburn 15506SS die fit my 12-ton crimper?
No. The 15506SS is a 14-ton die and needs a tool rated for that tonnage with the matching die seat. Running it in a lower tonnage head won't produce a full crimp. Match the tool to the 14-ton rating before ordering.
2) What does the 87H code on a Blackburn hex die mean?
87H is the die index code stamped on the tooling. On a crimp job you match the code called out for the connector and conductor size to the die code, then verify the same code appears in the finished crimp. On the 15506SS that code is 87H and the die carries a brown color code so it's identifiable in a die set at a glance.
3) Is this a single die or a matched pair?
The 15506SS is sold as one each. If your press head takes an upper and lower die, order the quantity your tool requires.
4) What part number do I order for the Blackburn 14-ton 87H brown hex die?
Blackburn 15506SS. That's the manufacturer part number for the 14-ton hex die, code 87H, brown. It's made in the United States.
5) Does a hex die give a different crimp than an indent or oval die?
Yes. A hex die like the 15506SS compresses the barrel into a six-sided form around the full circumference, which is what most utility and power connector specs call out for compression lugs and splices. Indent style tooling drives a single point into the barrel instead. If your connector manufacturer specifies a hex crimp with a die code, hex tooling is what you need, and here that code is 87H.
