Blackburn B06CHI – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor sizes does the Blackburn B06CHI compression die crimp?
The B06CHI is a U-type compression die sized for 1/0 copper and 2 AL (aluminum) conductors. It is the die itself, not the tool, so you need a compatible hydraulic or battery crimper head to use it.
2) Is the B06CHI a crimping tool or just the die?
Just the die. The B06CHI is a single U-type compression die sold each, used in a lug crimping tool. No crimper, handle, or frame is included, so order it as a consumable to match the connector size you are terminating.
3) What do the pink and gold color codes on this Blackburn die mean?
Pink/Gold is the color code stamped on the B06CHI die, and it is how you match die to connector on the job. Compression connectors are marked with the same code so the crimper, die, and lug all agree. On this die pink/gold corresponds to the 1/0 copper and 2 aluminum range.
4) Can one die cover both copper and aluminum lugs?
Yes, within the sizes marked. The B06CHI crimps 1/0 copper and 2 AL aluminum, which is why a single die covers both materials: the die cavity matches the connector barrel, and the aluminum barrel for a #2 AL lug works out to the same compression as a 1/0 copper barrel. If your lug is a different gauge, you need the die coded for that size.
5) Do I need a separate die for each lug size or will this one work across a range?
Compression dies are size specific. The B06CHI covers only the 1/0 copper and 2 aluminum crimp, so an electrician pulling mixed feeder sizes carries a set of dies, one per connector size, and swaps them in the crimper head. Buying a single die each makes sense when you are replacing a lost or worn size out of an existing set.
6) Where is the Blackburn B06CHI die made?
Made in the United States. That matters for MRO and government buyers working under domestic sourcing requirements on electrical material.
7) What part number do I order for the pink/gold 1/0 CU die?
Order Blackburn B06CHI. That is the manufacturer part number for the U-type compression die in the pink/gold code covering 1/0 copper and 2 aluminum.
