Canare TCD-8HD Crimp Die Set

Canare TCD-8HD replacement crimping jaws for the BCP-D8UHD connector and L-8CHD and L-8CUHD coaxial cables. They are designed to be used with the Canare TC-2 crimping pliers.

The Canare TCD-8HD crimping jaws are a replacement part for Canare crimping pliers. They are inserted into the body of the pliers and determine which connector can be crimped with them—for the TCD-8HD, this is the Canare BCP-D8UHD BNC connector for heavy-duty coaxial cables L-8CHD and L-8CUHD.

Compared to soldering, crimping produces a connection more quickly and with consistent quality, even without an experienced hand. On set, this also eliminates the need for solder, a power source, and waiting for the tip to heat up. The jaws have two crimping cavities: a square one for the center contact and a hexagonal one for the connector’s crimp sleeve.

Note regarding the pliers’ body: the TCD-8HD jaws fit the Canare TC-2, not the standard TC-1. The manufacturer explicitly states this for this size.
