U-type copper crimping dies sized for 3/0 wire. When used with a compatible compact crimper (for example, the DCE310 20V MAX Compact Crimper) and approved connectors, the dies produce cULus-classified crimps. Dies have laser-etched and color-coded markings for size identification; a completed crimp cycle imprints the wire size onto the connector to aid inspection. Connectors and crimper are sold separately.
Project Ideas
Business
Mobile Battery Cable Fabrication Service
Offer on-site custom 3/0 battery cable fabrication for marinas, RV parks, off-grid jobsites, and fleets. Customers get precise lengths and cULus-classified crimps using approved connectors and a compatible compact crimper. Provide printed photos of the die-imprinted size on each lug as part of a QA packet.
Online Custom Cable Shop
Launch an e-commerce configurator where customers choose cable length, lug sizes, stud diameters, color heat-shrink, and labeling. Build-to-order 3/0 cables are crimped with the U-dies and shipped with test/inspection documentation, including the connector imprint and pull-test data for repeatable quality.
Van/RV/Boat Power Kits
Bundle pre-engineered high-current kits (battery-to-inverter, battery-to-busbar jumpers, main grounds) using 3/0 cable with pre-crimped, cULus-classified terminations. Sell direct or wholesale to upfitters and installers. Include clear install diagrams and labels keyed to the die’s size markings to reduce install time and callbacks.
Crimping QA and Documentation Service
Partner with solar and electrical contractors to provide third-party high-current termination services and documentation. You crimp with the 3/0 U-dies and approved lugs, photograph the imprint for each termination, and deliver a QA report with torque specs and serial numbers to satisfy AHJ or customer requirements.
Crimper Kit Rental + Consumables
Rent out the compatible compact crimper bundled with the 3/0 die set and sell approved connectors, cable, and heat-shrink as consumables. Offer a short training video and quick-start guide showing how to achieve cULus-classified crimps and how to verify the imprint for inspection, creating an accessible entry point for small shops.
Creative
Off-Grid Solar Generator Cart
Build a rolling power cart with a LiFePO4 battery bank, MPPT charge controller, and inverter. Use the 3/0 Copper U-Die Set with a compatible compact crimper to terminate battery-to-busbar and battery-to-inverter cables using approved lugs. The die’s size imprint on the connectors helps you document each termination, and color-coded heat-shrink can match the die markings for a clean, inspectable build.
Industrial Copper Cable Sculpture Lamp
Create a sculptural floor or desk lamp using 3/0 copper/welding cable as both structural and visual elements. Crimp copper lugs onto cable ends to serve as adjustable joints and feet, then run low-voltage lamp wiring internally. The laser-etched die marks and post-crimp size imprint add an intentional industrial aesthetic while ensuring strong mechanical connections.
Overlanding Power Hub Case
Convert a rugged case into a portable power hub for camping and overlanding. Inside, mount a compact LiFePO4 battery, DC-DC charger, fuse block, and high-current connectors (e.g., SB175). Use the 3/0 die set to crimp short, low-resistance battery and inverter leads with approved connectors. Label each termination using the die-imprinted size for quick field inspection and maintenance.
Mobile Welding/Jumper Pack
Assemble a heavy-duty jumper/welding assist pack using 3/0 cable, quick-disconnects, and copper lugs. Crimp terminations with the U-dies and compatible crimper to ensure full-contact, low-resistance connections that can handle surge currents. Add protective boots and adhesive heat-shrink for durability and a professional finish.
