Ideal 30-593 Crimp Die, BNC TNC Mini UHF Connectors

The Ideal 30-593 is a 5-cavity interchangeable Crimpmaster die set for Mini UHF, BNC, and TNC coaxial connectors on miniature coaxial cables. Used with the 30-506 Crimpmaster ratchet crimp tool frame, this die set covers the small-diameter connector types found extensively in avionics, transponders, ADS-B receivers, GPS units, and RF test equipment.

Applications

The 30-593 is an essential die set for avionics technicians terminating BNC and TNC connectors on transponder, ADS-B, DME, and radar altimeter antenna cables. Mini UHF connectors appear frequently on cellular and RF test equipment. The 5-cavity design consolidates multiple small coaxial connector formats into a single interchangeable die, making it one of the most versatile RF crimp dies in the Crimpmaster ecosystem.

Ideal 30-593 Calibration

PJi operates an ISO/IEC 17025 Accredited Calibration Lab and provides NIST-traceable calibration for the Ideal 30-593 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.
