Overview

The NSI CD20 U-Type Compression Die, identified by its distinctive pink color code, is engineered for reliable crimping of 500 MCM aluminum conductors. This die is specifically designed for use with the NSi-12 compression tool and is also compatible with other tools, as detailed in the comprehensive cross-reference chart. Part of NSI Industries' extensive line of hardware, tools, and testers, the CD20 die is a critical component for electrical connections requiring robust and secure crimps. Its U-shaped design ensures proper alignment and consistent pressure application on aluminum lugs and splices, facilitating efficient and dependable electrical terminations. Key specifications and compatibility information are crucial for selecting the correct die. The CD20 die is listed in the NSI catalog with a Die Index number of 300FB and corresponds to a Die Index of 99 for the NSi-12 tool. It is also cross-referenced with other major tool manufacturers, including ILSCO (ILD-16), T&B (AFB), and Huskie (300). This die is suitable for 500 MCM aluminum conductors and can also be used for 400 MCM and 500 MCM aluminum lugs and splices. For aluminum lugs and splices, it is rated for 500 MCM wire size and can accommodate 400 MCM and 500 MCM sizes. When paired with compatible NSI compression tools, such as the NSi-12, the CD20 die ensures a secure and lasting connection, vital for the integrity of electrical systems. The NSI-12 tool delivers 12 tons of hydraulic force, and its 1/2" jaw opening is suitable for large conductors and taps. While the NSi-12 tool is not UL Listed/CSA, the dies themselves are designed for professional electrical applications. For precise application and compatibility, always refer to the NSI Industries' official catalog and cross-reference charts. The CD20 die is a testament to NSI's commitment to providing specialized tooling for electrical infrastructure and maintenance. Ensure proper tool and die selection for optimal performance and safety in all your aluminum conductor termination needs.
