Product Description
Milwaukee W Style W-165 Crimping Die
Model Number: 49-16-W165
The Milwaukee 49-16-W165 is a W Style W-165 Crimping Die for the Milwaukee M18 FORCE LOGIC hydraulic crimping system — a precision-machined die set for making W-165 profile compression connector crimps on specified conductor sizes in utility distribution, substation, and commercial electrical connector termination applications. The W-165 die is a specific size designation within the W-style die standard used with W-style compression connectors — the die geometry matches the W-165 connector's crimp pocket dimensions, conductor barrel shape, and crimping depth specification for crimps that meet the connector manufacturer's electrical resistance, mechanical pull-out strength, and dimensional compliance requirements. Selecting the correct W-165 die for the specific connector being terminated is essential — using an incorrect die size produces a non-compliant crimp that may appear visually similar but fails to meet the performance specifications required for safe, compliant electrical connections in utility and commercial power systems.
Milwaukee clearly marks the die with its W-165 size designation for accurate identification during field use — preventing the die mix-up that would produce non-compliant crimps requiring rework in energized utility and commercial electrical systems. The W-165 die integrates with Milwaukee's EXACT die system for quick tool-free die changes between conductor sizes during production crimping work. Milwaukee manufactures the die to the precision tolerances required for consistent, inspection-compliant crimps on the conductor sizes the W-165 connector is designed for. Always verify connector manufacturer specifications for the correct die size for each specific connector and conductor combination being terminated.
