Blackburn 6TON54SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn 6TON54SS used for?
It's a hex crimping die for lug and connector crimping, made to run in a 6 ton crimping tool. The die itself is stainless steel and it's sold individually, one die per order, not as a set.
2) Will this die fit my 12 ton or hydraulic crimper?
No. The 6TON54SS is rated to the 6 ton die family, so it belongs in a 6 ton crimping tool. Dies for 12 ton and larger heads use a different die seat and will not interchange, so match the die's tonnage to the head you own before ordering.
3) What does the 54H marking on the Blackburn die mean?
54H is the die index, the code stamped on the die that identifies which conductor size and connector it crimps. Blackburn connectors carry a matching die index in their installation data, so you pick the die by matching the code on the lug to the code on the die, 54 in this case.
4) Why is this crimping die color coded purple and olive?
The purple/olive coloring is Blackburn's color code for this die index, so a crewman can grab the right die out of a case without reading the stamp. If the connector you're crimping calls out that color pairing, this is the matching die.
5) Do I get one die or a matched pair with this part number?
One. The 6TON54SS is sold as each, a single die. If your crimping head takes an upper and lower die, order two, or confirm your head uses a single nest-and-indenter set.
6) Does the Blackburn 6TON54SS make a hex crimp or an indent crimp?
Hex. It closes a full hexagonal crimp around the connector barrel, which is what compression lug and splice specs normally call for on copper and aluminum terminations.
7) What part number do I order to replace a lost Blackburn 54 hex die?
Order 6TON54SS. That's the manufacturer part number for the 6 ton stainless hex die carrying the 54H index in purple/olive.
8) Is this die stainless steel, and does that matter on a jobsite?
Stainless steel construction, which holds up better than plated tool steel in wet vaults, outdoor pad-mount work, and truck-bed storage where plain dies pit and rust. It's manufactured in the United States.
