Overview

The Panduit CD-920-3/0NEST nest crimping die is a precision-engineered tool designed for terminating Panduit copper compression lugs and splices on 35 mm² and 50 mm² Class 5f and Class 6f flexible strand metric conductors. This die is engineered to work exclusively with the Panduit CDI-920-24 indenter die and specified Panduit crimping tools, ensuring consistent, high-integrity terminations for industrial and electrical applications. The die is manufactured in the USA and meets stringent quality standards for reliability in demanding environments. Key applications include power distribution panels, motor control centers, renewable energy systems, and industrial machinery where secure, long-lasting conductor terminations are critical. The CD-920-3/0NEST supports Class 5f and Class 6f flexible strands, which are commonly specified in European and international electrical installations due to their superior flexibility and current-carrying capacity. This die is part of the CDI-920 series, which is widely recognized for its compatibility with Panduit’s comprehensive line of compression lugs and splices. The crimping process ensures uniform deformation of the conductor and lug barrel, minimizing resistance and preventing hot spots in high-current circuits. For optimal performance, use this die with Panduit’s recommended crimping tools to achieve the specified compression profile. The die’s material is optimized for durability, ensuring long service life even in high-cycle applications. This product is ideal for electrical contractors, panel builders, and maintenance teams seeking reliable, code-compliant terminations for medium to large cross-section conductors.
