Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this die work with the BURNDY Y46 series crimper?
A: Yes, it is compatible with the Y46 and PAT46-18V series crimping tools. However, because those are 15-ton tools, you will need the appropriate U-die adapter to seat this 12-ton die correctly.
Q: What does the green color code signify on the UO die?
A: The green color code visually coordinates the die to the corresponding BURNDY HYGROUND connectors that require a 12-ton crimp with an O index. This visual verification ensures accurate compression and helps prevent the mating of mismatched hardware.
