Overview

The ABB MCD70-14 is a 14-ton rated steel hex metric die designed for cold pressing 70 mm² copper or aluminum cables. Part of ABB’s Installation Products line, this die ensures compatibility with standard metric compression tools used in industrial power distribution, renewable energy systems, and heavy machinery installations. The hex metric design guarantees proper alignment and consistent compression, reducing the risk of loose connections or electrical faults. With a 14-ton rating, it provides sufficient force for reliable crimping of large conductors, delivering durable, long-lasting terminations. The steel construction resists deformation under high pressure, maintaining dimensional accuracy over repeated use. Compatible with most hydraulic or mechanical crimping tools rated for 70 mm² applications, this die is ideal for panel builders, electrical contractors, and maintenance teams requiring precision tooling for medium to large cable installations. Manufactured in the US under ABB’s quality standards.
