Thomas & Betts Dies



Thomas and Betts Dies provide reliable connections for constructing, maintaining and managing electrical and telecom networks. They are used in conjunction with compression crimping tools to crimp lugs, splices, pigtails and H/C-taps. T&B dies are all color-coded to match the connector that it is designed to crimp. This Color-Keyed die/connector system assures installers that the proper compression die is being used to crimp the connector to provide a dependable, permanent connection. All Thomas and Betts Dies emboss a die index number on copper lugs, splices, H-taps and C-taps when crimped which match the index number on these connections as well, allowing quick and easy inspection of the connection in the future.
