BURNDY U38RT U Connector Die, 700 kcmil
The BURNDY U38RT is a genuine stainless steel U-die designed specifically for crimping 700 kcmil copper conductors. Delivering a consistent 12-ton crimp force, this standard die is color-keyed pink and stamped with die index 400 to ensure fast, accurate field identification and post-crimp verification. It is specifically engineered to install BURNDY HYLUG compression terminals within the YA series.
Constructed from durable, solid stainless steel, the U38RT prevents deformation, resists corrosion, and minimizes wear, providing a long service life in both rugged field environments and high-volume shop applications.
