Blackburn BY47 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn BY47 used for?
The BY47 is a compression die used in a hydraulic or battery lug crimping tool to crimp connectors and lugs onto conductors. It is a K die, so it presses the K die index code into the finished crimp for inspection. One die is sold per order.
2) Is Blackburn BY47 a complete crimping tool or just the die?
Just the die. BY47 is the die insert only, and it has to be installed in a compatible crimping head or tool, which is ordered separately. Electricians replacing a worn die or adding a size to an existing tool set are the usual buyers.
3) What does the K on the Blackburn BY47 compression die mean?
K is the die index code. On a compression connector, the manufacturer specifies which index die to use for a given conductor size and connector, and the crimped connector is then stamped K so an inspector can confirm the right die was used. Match the K callout on your connector or in the tool's die chart before crimping.
4) How do I order the right Blackburn die if K is not the index my connector calls for?
Order by the index code, not by conductor size alone. BY47 covers the K index only; if your lug or splice calls for a different letter or number index, that is a different Blackburn BY die part number. Check the die chart supplied with your crimping tool and the index marking printed on the connector or its packaging, then order the die matching that code.
5) What is the manufacturer part number for the Blackburn K compression die?
The part number is BY47, from Blackburn. There is a single model on it, so BY47 is the number to quote on a purchase order or cross-reference against a distributor's line.
