Blackburn B08CH – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn B08CH die used for?
The B08CH is a U-type compression die for crimping lugs and connectors. It drops into a compression crimping tool and forms the U-shaped indent that mechanically locks the barrel of a lug onto the conductor. It is a die only, not a tool, so you need a compatible compression head to use it.
2) Is the Blackburn B08CH sold individually or as a matched pair set?
It ships as a single die, sold each. If your crimping head takes an upper and lower die, order the quantity your tool requires rather than assuming a pair comes in the box.
3) How do I identify the Blackburn B08CH die once it is out of the box or mixed in the tool kit?
Go by the color and the stamped code. The B08CH is color coded orange (tan/orange), and the die number B08CH is the marking to match against the crimp chart for your tool. Electricians running several dies in one pouch use that color code to pull the right one without reading fine print.
4) Do I order the die by conductor size or by the code stamped on the connector?
Order by the die code. Compression connectors are marked with the die index the manufacturer qualified them for, and you match that marking to the die, in this case B08CH. Picking a die from conductor size alone is how crimps end up under- or over-formed, since the correct index also depends on the connector barrel and the tool head.
5) Are Blackburn compression dies made in the USA for public or government project requirements?
Country of origin on the B08CH compression die is the United States. That is the figure to cite on a domestic-content submittal for a public or federally funded job.
