Crimping die for 300 kcmil cable

The BURNDY U30RT crimping die is built for electricians and technicians who terminate 300 kcmil conductors. It works with both hand-operated and powered crimping tools. The white colour code on the upper and lower die halves speeds visual identification on site. This die is intended for electrical wire and cable applications.

Maximum crimping force of 12 ton

The die delivers a maximum crimping force of 12 ton, which is the single figure that determines whether it can handle the required conductor size. It is rated for cables up to 300 kcmil and carries a white connector colour code. If the application demands a higher force or a different conductor range, this die will not meet the requirement.

Simple die swap with colour-coded halves

Installation consists of seating the upper and lower die halves into a compatible crimping tool, a process that takes seconds. The white colour code on each half prevents accidental reversal during fitting. The main issue installers encounter is using the die with a tool that cannot supply the full 12 ton force, which results in an incomplete crimp.

Questions about this item

What does the 12 ton crimping force mean for actual cable work?

It provides enough compression to securely terminate cables up to 300 kcmil when used with a compatible tool that can deliver that force.

What tool interface does this Type U die use and what limits it?

It fits standard Type U crimping tool heads; the 12 ton rating caps the maximum force the die can safely handle.

What physical dimensions or mounting features let it fit in my crimper?

The die is built to the Type U form factor with upper and lower halves that seat directly into matching tool jaws.
