Panduit CD-930H-250 Crimp Die for CT-930 Copper Tap Connections
Overview
The Panduit CD-930H-250 is a replacement crimp die designed for use with the Panduit CT-930 mechanical crimper, purpose-built for terminating HTCT250 series copper tap connectors. If you are running the CT-930 in the field and need to support 250 kcmil copper tap connections — specifically the HTCT250-8-1, HTCT250-2-1, and HTCT250-250-1 tap connectors — this is the correct die to specify. The CD-930H-250 (often searched as CD 930H 250) is color-coded Purple PH25, which maps directly to the die cavity size and eliminates the guesswork of matching dies to connector families on a busy job site. Using the wrong die with copper taps risks an incomplete crimp that passes visual inspection but fails under load — the color-coding system exists precisely to prevent that. Minimum order quantity is one unit, making it practical to carry a spare without over-ordering.
Key Features
- CT-930 Compatibility: Engineered specifically for the Panduit CT-930 mechanical crimper. Drop-in installation — no modifications or adapters required — so you are back to work without down time.
- HTCT250 Tap Connector Support: Compatible with three HTCT250 tap connectors (HTCT250-8-1, HTCT250-2-1, HTCT250-250-1), covering multiple wire combination configurations at the 250 kcmil range from a single die.
- Purple PH25 Color Code: Industry-standard color coding identifies the die cavity at a glance. On a multi-die job box, Purple PH25 means you pull the right die every time — critical when working in conduit, panels, or low-light environments.
- Single-Unit Availability: Minimum order of one unit means you can stock a field spare or replace a worn die without committing to bulk quantities.
Integration & Compatibility
The CD-930H-250 is compatible exclusively with the Panduit CT-930 crimper platform. It is not a universal die. Verify your crimper model before ordering — dies from other Panduit CT series tools are not cross-compatible with the CT-930. For copper tap applications outside the HTCT250 range, confirm the connector series and required die color code against Panduit's product line before specifying a replacement die. If you are building out a copper termination toolkit, pair this with the correct CT-930 and the appropriate HTCT250 connectors for a complete assembly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What crimper is the CD-930H-250 compatible with?
A: The CD-930H-250 is designed exclusively for the Panduit CT-930 mechanical crimper. It is not compatible with other Panduit crimper models without verification.
Q: Which copper tap connectors does this die support?
A: The CD-930H-250 supports the HTCT250-8-1, HTCT250-2-1, and HTCT250-250-1 copper tap connectors.
Q: What does the Purple PH25 color code mean?
A: Purple PH25 is the industry color designation for this die's cavity size, corresponding to the 250 kcmil HTCT250 connector family. Color coding allows fast, error-resistant die selection in the field.
Q: Can I order just one unit?
A: Yes. The minimum order quantity is one unit, so a single replacement die can be ordered without a bulk commitment.
The CD-930H-250 is a straightforward but field-critical component — if you are running HTCT250-250-1 copper taps with the CT-930 and your die is worn or missing, work stops. The Purple PH25 color code is the spec that matters most here: it is your assurance that this die seats correctly in the CT-930 and delivers the correct crimp geometry for the HTCT250 connector series.
Technical Highlights:
- Purple PH25 Color Code: Directly maps to the HTCT250 250 kcmil connector family — eliminates die mismatch errors that produce non-conforming crimps.
- Three-Connector Coverage: One die handles HTCT250-8-1, HTCT250-2-1, and HTCT250-250-1 tap combinations, reducing the number of dies you need to carry for 250 kcmil tap work.
- CT-930 Platform Lock: Designed exclusively for the CT-930 — the die-to-tool fit is engineered for repeatable crimp force and geometry, which matters on copper taps carrying load current.
Deployment Considerations:
- Verify your crimper model is specifically the CT-930 before ordering — Panduit produces multiple CT series tools and dies are not universally interchangeable across the platform.
- Color-coded dies can fade or become difficult to read in high-use field conditions; confirm the PH25 marking on the die body, not just the color, before use on a critical termination.
The CD-930H-250 is the right call for electrical crews doing copper tap terminations on 250 kcmil runs — panel rooms, service entrance work, or any application where HTCT250 connectors are specified and CT-930 tooling is already on the truck.
