Blackburn BY28C – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What die size is the Blackburn BY28C, and what does the 17/32 refer to?
The BY28C is an OD (outside diameter) compression die in size 17/32. On lug crimping dies, the size designation is the finished outside diameter of the crimp the die forms, not the conductor size, so match it to the die size called out by the connector or lug manufacturer for the conductor you are terminating.
2) Is the BY28C a crimping die or a complete crimping tool?
It is a die only, not a tool. The BY28C is the replaceable die that drops into a lug crimping tool; you need the compression tool itself, which is ordered separately.
3) Is the Blackburn BY28C sold as a single die or as a matched pair?
It is sold each, so one BY28C die per order. Crimping dies used in hydraulic and battery-powered lug tools are typically a single nest assembly, so order one per die size you need to cover on the job; if you are terminating several conductor sizes you will need a separate die for each OD callout.
4) What is the part number and manufacturer for the 17/32 OD compression die I need to reorder?
Blackburn BY28C, MPN BY28C. That is the number to give a distributor when you are standardizing dies across a crew or replacing one out of a tool case, and it is made in the United States.
5) How do I tell the BY28C apart from other Blackburn compression dies in my tool case?
The BY28C is finished black and stamped with its 17/32 OD size. Because dies of adjacent sizes look nearly identical, go by the stamped size rather than the color when you pull one for a crimp, and verify it against the OD the lug manufacturer specifies for that conductor.
