Blackburn BY31 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Blackburn BY31 die do, and what tool is it for?
The BY31 is a compression die for hydraulic lug crimping tools. It presses a connector onto conductor with a fixed outside-diameter (OD) profile rather than a hex or indent shape, so the finished crimp comes out round at the die's OD size. It is sold one die at a time, not as a set.
2) What size crimp does the Blackburn BY31 die make?
The BY31 is the 5/8 OD size, index 165. Match both the OD size and the index number to the connector you are crimping, since the index is what ties the die to the correct connector and die-code chart.
3) Is the BY31 an ordinary hex crimping die?
No. It is an OD (outside diameter) compression die, which produces a round, circumferential crimp. If your connector or spec calls for a hex crimp or a specific hex die code, the BY31 is the wrong die.
4) How do I make sure I order the right Blackburn die for my crimper?
Order by the manufacturer part number, BY31, and confirm the index number 165 and the 5/8 OD size against the die chart for your tool and connector. Blackburn dies are index-coded, so the index is the figure that has to agree, not just the physical size.
5) Do I get more than one die when I order a Blackburn BY31?
One die per order. The selling unit is each, so if you need a range of OD sizes for different conductor and lug combinations you order each index separately.
