Crimping die for 500 kcmil cable

The Burndy U34RT Type U crimping die is built for terminating 500 kcmil copper cables. Its brown colour code identifies the correct die size at a glance. The die fits both hand-operated and powered crimping tools. Electricians and line workers use it for heavy-gauge lug and splice connections.

Sustained crimping force of 12 ton

The die delivers a maximum crimping force of 12 ton across repeated cycles. Heat-treated steel maintains dimensional accuracy under continuous high-pressure use. Consistent compression reduces the risk of loose or overheated joints. The design suits all-day field work without deformation.

500 kcmil capacity copper lug die

This die only accepts 500 kcmil conductors; smaller or larger cables require a different die. Buyers who need to crimp multiple cable sizes must purchase additional dies. The single-size limitation means it is not a universal crimping solution.

Questions about this item

How loud or hot does the U34RT die get during continuous crimping?

The die itself has no motor or electronics, so it produces no noise or heat; any sound or warmth comes from the crimper you pair it with.

What crimper must I already own to use this die?

You need a hand or power crimper that accepts Type U dies and can deliver up to 12 ton of crimping force.

Will this brown die still crimp 500 kcmil cable if I keep using my existing Type U tool?

Yes, the U34RT is a Type U die coded brown for 500 kcmil copper lugs and works with any compatible Type U crimper.
