Ideal 30-581 BNC Crimp Die, RG-59 Coaxial Connectors

The Ideal 30-581 is an interchangeable Crimpmaster combo die set for RG-58, RG-59, and RG-62 coaxial cable with BNC and TNC connectors. Designed for use with the 30-506 Crimpmaster ratchet crimp tool frame, this three-cavity hex die delivers precise, consistent crimps across multiple coaxial cable and connector types used in avionics test equipment, video systems, and instrumentation applications.

Applications

Used by avionics technicians and test equipment specialists for BNC and TNC connector crimping on RG-58, RG-59, and RG-62 coaxial cable in aircraft video systems, transponder and DME antenna connections, and instrumentation cabling. The combo die format consolidates three common coaxial cable types into a single interchangeable die, reducing the number of dies needed in a shop toolkit.

Ideal 30-581 Calibration

PJi operates an ISO/IEC 17025 Accredited Calibration Lab and provides NIST-traceable calibration for the Ideal 30-581 at the time of purchase — add calibration to your order at checkout. Our calibration documentation satisfies FAA Part 145 tool control requirements, ISO 9001 quality system records, and AS9100 calibration traceability requirements. For repair stations and quality-certified facilities that require documented traceability, PJi is the one-stop source: the tool and the calibration certificate in a single transaction. Calibration-only companies cannot sell you the tool. Major retailers cannot calibrate it. PJi does both.

Why Buy from Pilot John International

Pilot John International is an authorized Ideal Industries distributor with specialized expertise serving aviation maintenance, FAA Part 145 repair stations, and industrial MRO facilities. Unlike Amazon, Grainger, or Home Depot, which sell Ideal tools but offer zero calibration services, PJi's in-house ISO/IEC 17025 Accredited Calibration Lab calibrates your tool at purchase. We stock the full Ideal catalog, ship same-business-day on in-stock items, and our technical staff understands the demands of aviation and industrial electrical maintenance.
