Blackburn 6TON62SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What die code is the Blackburn 6TON62SS hex die, and how do I know it's the right one for my lug?
The Blackburn 6TON62SS is a hex crimping die stamped with die code 62H. Compression lugs and splices call out the die code (or index number) on the connector barrel or in the connector's crimp chart, so match the 62H marking on the connector to this die. It's a hex die, so it produces a six-sided crimp, not an indent or oval.
2) Will this 62H die fit my 12-ton hydraulic crimper?
No. The 6TON62SS is built for 6-ton tooling, so it is sized to 6-ton die seats. A 12-ton head takes a different die shank and will not accept it. Order the 62H die made for your tool's tonnage instead.
3) Is the Blackburn 6TON62SS die sold as a single die or a matched pair?
It's sold each, so one die per order. Most 6-ton hex crimpers use a die set of two halves, upper and lower, so check what your tool needs before you order a quantity of one.
4) Can I use the 6TON62SS die for crimping compression lugs and splices on copper cable?
That's what it's for. The 6TON62SS is a lug crimping tool die, used in a 6-ton compression head to crimp compression lugs and splices. The connector must call for the 62H die code for the crimp to be to the connector manufacturer's spec.
5) What is the yellow color on this Blackburn die for?
Yellow is the color coding on the 6TON62SS, which lets an electrician pick the right die out of a case of 6-ton dies on sight and match it back to the color-coded connector or crimp chart. The stamped 62H code is still the authority; the color just speeds up identification in the field.
6) Are these crimping dies stainless steel, and does that matter for a die kept in a truck?
The 6TON62SS is stainless steel, which is the practical advantage for dies that live in a service van or get used outdoors and in wet vaults: no rust bloom on the crimp faces or the shank, so the die still seats cleanly in the tool head.
7) What part number do I order for the Blackburn 6-ton 62H hex die, and where is it made?
Order Blackburn part number 6TON62SS. It is made in the United States.
