Product Description
Milwaukee W Style W-166 Crimping Die
Model Number: 49-16-W166
The Milwaukee 49-16-W166 is a W Style W-166 Crimping Die for the Milwaukee M18 FORCE LOGIC hydraulic crimping system — a precision-machined die set for making W-166 profile compression connector crimps on specified conductor sizes in utility distribution, substation, and commercial electrical connector termination applications. The W-166 die is a specific size within the W-style die standard — the die geometry matches the W-166 connector's crimp pocket dimensions, conductor barrel shape, and crimping depth specification for crimps that meet electrical resistance, mechanical pull-out strength, and dimensional compliance requirements for utility and commercial electrical connections. Using the correct W-166 die is essential — an incorrect die size produces a non-compliant crimp that may appear visually acceptable but fails performance specifications required for reliable service in distribution and commercial systems.
Milwaukee clearly marks the die with its W-166 size designation for accurate field identification, preventing die selection errors that would produce non-compliant crimps in energized utility and commercial systems. The W-166 die integrates with Milwaukee's EXACT die system for quick tool-free die changes during production crimping. Milwaukee manufactures the die to precision tolerances for consistent, inspection-compliant crimps on the conductor sizes the W-166 specification is rated for. Always verify connector manufacturer specifications for the correct die and conductor combination before terminating utility connections.
