Overview

The Panduit CT-920CH BlackFin Crimping Tool delivers 12-ton crimping force for reliable terminations of copper and aluminum conductors. Designed for continuous operation, this hydraulic crimp tool features an open C-crimp head that rotates 350° for easy die and connector loading, reducing downtime. The two-stage hydraulic system provides rapid advance, power stroke, and automatic retraction, with a manual retraction option for controlled operation. Compatible with Panduit CD-920 and CD-930 color-coded dies, the CT-920CH ensures correct die-to-connector matching and delivers uniform trapezoid crimp profiles for ferrule terminations. The tool includes a Parker-type quick-connect fitting and a heavy-duty carrying bag for portability. It supports a wide range of conductors, including #8 AWG to 750 kcmil copper code, #6 AWG to 600 kcmil aluminum, and metric sizes from 10mm² to 400mm². The audible pop-off valve signals crimp completion, and the cushioned grip reduces operator fatigue. For full compatibility, pair with the Panduit CT-902HP hydraulic pump and CT-900HPH hydraulic hose (sold separately).
