Blackburn BY55 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn BY55 die used for?
The BY55 is a compression die for a lug crimping tool. It makes an outside-diameter (OD) compression crimp and handles conductors up to 2/0 maximum. It is the die only, sold one per order, so you need the compatible crimping tool it seats into.
2) Can I crimp 4/0 cable with the Blackburn BY55 die?
No. The BY55 tops out at 2/0. For larger cable you need a die sized for that conductor range, so step up to a different die in the same series rather than forcing 4/0 into this one.
3) Is the BY55 a crimping tool or just the die?
Just the die. The BY55 is the replaceable die insert that goes into a lug crimping tool, ordered individually. No tool, handles, or die set case is included.
4) What is the manufacturer part number for the Blackburn OD compression die rated to 2/0?
Blackburn BY55. That is both the model and the part number to order by.
5) Does an OD compression die give a different crimp than a hex die?
Yes. The BY55 is an outside-diameter compression die, so it circumferentially compresses the lug barrel to a set OD rather than forming the flat-sided indent a hex die leaves. If your connector manufacturer's installation instructions call out a specific hex die index, an OD die is not a substitute for it.
