U-type copper crimping dies intended to produce cULus classified crimps when used with a compatible compact crimper and approved connectors (refer to the crimper user manual for the compatible die/connector chart). The dies include size markings and imprint the wire size on the connector after a completed crimp for inspection.
Project Ideas
Business
Custom battery cable service
Offer made-to-order #6 AWG copper cables for automotive, marine, RV, and solar users. Provide exact lengths, lug types, heat-shrink colors, and labeling, with cULus-classified crimps (when used with compatible crimper and approved connectors). Include photos of the imprint for QC and fast local pickup or shipping.
Mobile termination & panel upgrade support
Provide on-site crimping for electricians, solar installers, and facilities teams during panel upgrades, EV charger installs, and generator tie-ins. You bring the compatible crimper, U-die, and approved lugs to produce compliant terminations, documenting each connection with the die’s size imprint and a brief report.
Hands-on crimping workshops
Run short courses for makerspaces, auto clubs, and vocational programs on selecting connectors, using color codes, performing proper U-die crimps, pull-testing, and sealing. Sell tool-and-consumable kits, and offer a simple completion certificate backed by a checklist and sample crimps.
RV/van/boat power feed kits
Package pre-sized #6 AWG feed kits (cable, lugs, heat-shrink, grommets, fuses) for common alternator-to-house battery, inverter, or fuse-block runs. Include a routing guide and torque chart. Upsell installation or remote support, highlighting your cULus-classified crimps and inspection-friendly imprint.
Crimper + die rental with consumables
Rent a compatible compact crimper with the #6 U-die and a curated kit of approved copper lugs and adhesive heat-shrink. Provide a quick-start guide and video. Charge a deposit, per-day rental, and offer optional on-call assistance or a QC photo review of the finished crimps.
Creative
Off‑grid battery bank harness
Build safe, low-resistance #6 AWG copper interconnects between a charge controller, battery bank, and inverter. Use the U-die with a compatible crimper and approved lugs to achieve cULus-classified crimps and a stamped size imprint for easy inspection. Finish with adhesive heat-shrink and printed labels for a professional, serviceable system.
Overland/van 12V power panel
Create a compact auxiliary power panel with a main #6 AWG feed to a fuse block and distribution bus for fridge, lights, and compressor. Crimp ring lugs and ferrules using the die for reliable terminations that won’t loosen under vibration. Color-code and route cables cleanly for a tidy, showcase-worthy build.
Sculptural copper pendant lamp (low-voltage)
Design a striking pendant using thick copper conductor as both visual element and structure for a 12/24V LED fixture. Terminate #6 AWG leads with neatly crimped, cULus-classified lugs, leaving the die’s wire-size imprint visible under clear heat-shrink as an intentional industrial detail.
DIY electric go‑kart power leads
Upgrade battery-to-controller and controller-to-motor leads with #6 AWG copper for better current handling and reduced voltage drop. Use approved connectors and the U-die to produce consistent crimps, then add strain relief and abrasion protection to handle track abuse.
Marine winch/bilge wiring refresh
Rewire a small anchor winch or high-capacity bilge pump with tinned #6 AWG copper and sealed lugs. Make cULus-classified crimps with the die and cover with adhesive-lined heat-shrink to resist corrosion. The stamped size imprint aids future inspections and maintenance logs.
