Burndy U5CRT Type U Crimping Die Blue electrician tool

Crimping Die for Copper Lugs

The Burndy U5CRT is a Type U crimping die designed for electricians who terminate copper lugs on 6 AWG conductors. It provides upper and lower die halves in a single blue-coded piece. Compatibility spans the 35 Series and 750 Series tools including PAT46, PAT750, PUADP1, Y35, Y46 and Y750 models. The die delivers a 12 ton crimping force for secure connections.

Blue Colour Code Matches 6 AWG Copper

The blue connector colour code identifies this die for 6 AWG copper lugs and splices. It accepts compatible connector types YA and YS in a single crimping size. Using the correct colour-coded die ensures the crimp profile matches the lug barrel dimensions. Mismatched codes produce unreliable terminations that can fail under load.

For Electricians Using Burndy 12-Ton Tools

This die suits professionals who already own a Burndy 12-ton tool from the listed series and need to crimp 6 AWG copper lugs. It is not for installers working with aluminium conductors, larger gauge copper, or tools outside the 35 and 750 Series. Buyers who need multiple crimping sizes or different connector types should look at other die sets.
