Burndy U997 Crimping Die

The Burndy U997 is a Type U crimping die built for electrical wire and cable termination. It suits both upper and lower crimping positions and works with hand or power tools. The orange colour identifies it within the U style series. It delivers a maximum crimping force of 12 ton.

Suits installers needing 250 kcmil capacity

Electricians and maintenance teams terminating cables from 6 AWG up to 250 kcmil will find this die matches their range. It is not suited for applications requiring larger conductor sizes or higher crimping forces beyond the rated limit. Buyers working exclusively with smaller gauges may prefer a lighter die.

Handles 6 AWG to 250 kcmil cables

The die comfortably crimps connectors across the full 6 AWG to 250 kcmil cable range using 12 ton force. It runs out of capacity above 250 kcmil or where a higher tonnage tool is specified. The 12 ton rating defines the upper boundary for secure, lasting connections.
