Blackburn 6TON24SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn 6TON24SS and what does it do?
It's a single hex crimping die for lug crimping tools, made by Blackburn under part number 6TON24SS. The die carries die code 24 and is color coded blue, which is how you match it to the connector calling for that code. It's stainless steel and sold one die at a time, not as a set.
2) Will this die fit my 12 ton crimper?
No. The 6TON24SS is built to a 6 ton capacity rating, so it belongs in a 6 ton tool. Dies are sized to the head of the press they seat in, and a 12 ton head takes 12 ton dies. Match the tonnage on the die to the tonnage on the tool.
3) How do I know if die code 24 is the right one for my connector?
Go by the marking on the lug or splice, not by wire size alone. Compression connectors are stamped with a die code and a color, and the 6TON24SS is code 24, blue. If the connector body says 24 or blue, this is the die that makes the crimp the manufacturer rated the connector for. A different code will produce an out-of-spec crimp even if it physically closes.
4) Is one 6TON24SS enough, or do I need to buy a pair?
The 6TON24SS is sold as each, so one order line gets you one die. Check how your crimper head is configured: some 6 ton heads take a single die set assembly, others seat a matched upper and lower. Order the quantity your head requires.
5) Why a stainless steel crimping die instead of a plated one?
The 6TON24SS is stainless steel, which holds up in damp and outdoor work where a plated tool steel die tends to surface rust in the truck box. For a utility or outside plant crew crimping in the weather, that's the practical difference.
