Product identity

The Burndy W239 is a W-style crimping die set designed for electricians and technicians who terminate copper or aluminium lugs with a 6-ton compression tool. It provides the upper and lower die halves in a single piece for consistent crimp profiles.

Decisive specification

The die is rated for a maximum crimping force of 6 ton and accepts 2 AWG copper lugs plus 4 to 2 AWG aluminium lugs. That capacity and force rating are the only figures that determine whether the die matches the connector and cable size on the job.

Build integration

The die fits W-style tool series including MD6, MD7, PAT600, PATMD and Y500CTHS, so it works with the compression heads already in many service kits. It covers one crimping size and is compatible with YA-A and YS-A connector types, leaving other wire gauges to be handled by separate die sets.

Questions about this item

What does the 6 ton force rating mean when I am crimping in the field?

The die is built for tools that develop up to 6 tons of hydraulic pressure, so it will form a full, gas-tight crimp on 2 AWG copper lugs and 4 to 2 AWG aluminium lugs in one squeeze.

Which tool series does the W-style interface fit, and what does that limit?

The W-style profile locks into Burndy MD6, MD7, PAT600, PATMD and Y500CTHS tools; it will not seat in U-die or other proprietary heads, so the crimp geometry stays consistent.

What physical clearance does the upper-and-lower die set need to mount?

The matched upper and lower halves sit as a single W-style cartridge, requiring only the standard die pocket depth on the compatible Burndy tools listed above.
