U‑type copper dies intended for use with the DCE310 20V MAX Compact Crimper to produce cULus classified crimps with compatible manufacturers' connectors. The dies have laser‑etched and color‑coded size markings to identify die size. After a crimp cycle the wire size is imprinted onto the connector for inspection. Connectors and the crimper are sold separately; consult the crimper user manual for the chart of compliant dies and connectors.
Project Ideas
Business
On‑Site Heavy‑Lug Crimping Service
Offer a mobile service to industrial, utility, and solar contractors to perform cULus‑classified 350 MCM crimps with the DCE310 and compatible connectors. Provide deliverables like imprint photos, connector brand/part numbers, and torque logs for AHJ and customer records; bill per termination plus travel.
Prefabricated Cable Assemblies
Sell made‑to‑order 350 MCM cable sets for battery‑to‑inverter, switchgear jumpers, and generator tie‑ins using only connectors from the crimper’s compliance chart. Include heat‑shrink labels, protective boots, and documentation packs with the die‑imprinted wire size for traceability; target solar/storage integrators and panel shops.
Commissioning & Inspection Documentation
Partner with EPCs to verify terminations at punch‑list/commissioning: inspect lug selection, crimp with the correct U‑die where needed, and record each imprint as proof of conformity. Deliver a photo-indexed report matching each termination to location, conductor, and torque value to streamline closeout with AHJs and owners.
Operator‑Included Tool Rental
Provide day‑rate rentals of the DCE310 with this die and a trained operator for small projects that don’t justify buying a crimper. Stock common 350 MCM copper lugs from compatible manufacturers and sell them on‑site, reducing contractor downtime and ensuring compliant terminations.
24/7 Emergency Feeder Repair
Launch a rapid‑response service for facilities and data centers to replace failed 350 MCM terminations after outages. Keep a van inventory of compliant lugs and heat‑shrink, perform on‑site cULus‑classified crimps, and provide immediate post‑repair documentation with imprint photos; charge premium after‑hours rates.
Creative
Off‑Grid Battery Bank Interconnects
Build safe, high‑amp interconnect cables for a cabin/van solar battery bank and inverter using 350 MCM copper cable, compatible lugs, and the die with a DCE310 crimper. The die’s imprinting of wire size on each lug gives you a clear QA trail for torque logs and photos, which is great for long‑term maintenance and inspections.
Heavy‑Duty Mobile Power Cart
Create a rolling DC/AC power distribution cart for a workshop or jobsite with a large inverter/charger, fusing, and busbars fed by 350 MCM cables. Use the U‑die to make cULus‑classified terminations on battery and bus connections, and heat‑shrink color codes to match the die’s size markings for a clean, professional look.
Apprentice Training Rig
Build a reusable training board with short runs of 350 MCM cable, a variety of compatible lugs, and cutaway terminations for teaching proper lug prep, crimp sequencing, and inspection. The post‑crimp wire‑size imprint becomes a built‑in pass/fail reference for trainees learning to document terminations.
Industrial Art Lighting
Design a sculptural floor lamp or wall piece using reclaimed switchgear copper, oversized lugs, and 350 MCM cable as visible structural elements. The die’s laser‑etched and imprinted markings can be intentionally displayed as part of the industrial aesthetic while ensuring all live electrical parts are isolated or de‑energized.
