Blackburn 6TON62XSS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What die index does the Blackburn 6TON62XSS crimping die match?
The 6TON62XSS is the 62X die, color coded yellow. On a compression connector, the die index stamped on the barrel is what you match, so this one goes on lugs and splices marked 62X. Crimping tool dies like this are matched by index, not by wire size alone, so read the barrel stamp on the connector before you pick the die.
2) Will the Blackburn 62X die fit my 12 ton crimper?
No. The 6TON62XSS is a 6 ton die and it seats in 6 ton tooling. A 12 ton head takes 12 ton dies, and the die pockets are not interchangeable between tonnage classes. If your press is 12 ton, order the 62X die in the 12 ton size instead of this one.
3) Does the Blackburn 6TON62XSS make a hex crimp or an indent crimp?
Hex. The 62X die closes a full hexagonal compression on the connector barrel, which is the crimp profile most utility and commercial power connectors are listed for. If your connector calls for an indent or a dot crimp, this die is the wrong profile.
4) Is this Blackburn die stainless steel, and does that matter for outdoor or utility work?
Stainless steel construction. For a die that lives in a truck, a manhole, or a job box outdoors, that means it resists the rust and pitting that ruins the crimp faces on plain tool steel dies. A pitted die face leaves a poor compression, so corrosion resistance is a working spec here, not cosmetic.
5) Is the Blackburn 6TON62XSS sold as a single die or a matched pair?
It ships as one item, sold each, and it is supplied with the 62X die so you have the working set for that index. Crimping dies work as a top and bottom pair in the tool head, so confirm what your head is missing before you order a second one.
6) Where is the Blackburn 6TON62XSS die made?
Made in the United States. That settles Buy American and domestic-content sourcing questions on federal, municipal, and utility jobs where the tooling and material on the job have to be documented.
