Blackburn BY23 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn BY23 die used for?
The BY23 is a compression die for a hydraulic or battery lug crimping tool. It is the consumable tooling piece that sets the crimp profile on connectors and lugs, sold one die per order. It is not a connector or a tool itself, just the die that drops into the tool head.
2) What die size is the Blackburn BY23, and what index number does it carry?
The BY23 is an OD (outside diameter) compression die in size 1/2, index 163. Electricians match the index number stamped on the connector to the die, so if your lug or splice calls for index 163, the BY23 is the matching die.
3) Will the BY23 work for crimping copper lugs on a die-index crimping system?
The BY23 is an OD compression die indexed 163 at size 1/2, built for lug crimping tools. Compression tooling is indexed, not universal, so the connector you are crimping has to call out index 163 and your tool head has to accept Blackburn dies. If the lug is stamped a different index, that die will not produce a rated crimp.
4) Do I get a pair of dies or just one with the Blackburn BY23?
One die per order. The BY23 selling unit is each, so if your tool head takes a matched upper and lower set you need to order accordingly.
5) What is the manufacturer part number for the Blackburn 1/2 index 163 compression die?
Blackburn part number BY23. That is the number to quote when ordering or cross-referencing the index 163 OD compression die with a distributor.
