Blackburn B20AH – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn B20AH die used for?
The B20AH is a U-type compression die for crimping lugs and connectors. It goes into a compression tool head and forms the crimp on the connector barrel, so it is consumable tooling rather than a connector itself. The die is identified by the EEI index number 14A stamped in its designation, which is how connector manufacturers tell you which die to use for a given lug and conductor size.
2) How do I know the B20AH is the right die for my lug?
Match the die index, not the tool. The B20AH carries EEI index 14A, and connector packaging or catalog sheets call out the index number required for each conductor size and connector. If the lug you are installing calls for index 14A, this U-type die is the one to load. If it calls for any other index, you need the die bearing that number instead.
3) Does buying the B20AH die get me a crimping tool as well?
No. The B20AH is the die only, a replacement or add-on insert for a compression tool you already own. The crimping head, whether hand, hydraulic, or battery, is bought separately, and you should confirm your head accepts U-type dies before ordering.
4) Is the B20AH die sold individually or as a matched pair set?
Blackburn's B20AH is sold each, one die per unit. If your crimping head takes an upper and lower die, order the quantity your tool head requires.
5) What part number do I give my supplier for the Blackburn 14A U-type die?
Order it as Blackburn B20AH. That is the manufacturer part number for the U-type compression die with EEI index 14A, and it is a US-made item.
6) Can I use a U-type die like the B20AH in a hex-die crimper?
No. U-type dies and hex dies are different crimp geometries and different die nests. The B20AH is a U-type die and belongs in a tool head built for U dies. Putting it in the wrong head either will not seat or will produce a crimp the connector was never tested with.
