Product Description
Milwaukee W Style W-243 Crimping Die
Model Number: 49-16-W243
The Milwaukee 49-16-W243 is a W Style W-243 Crimping Die for Milwaukee M18 FORCE LOGIC hydraulic crimping systems — a precision-machined die set for making W-243 profile compression connector crimps on specified conductor sizes in utility distribution, substation, and commercial electrical connector termination applications. The W-style die profile is a specific connector manufacturer-designated crimping die standard used with W-style compression connectors — the die geometry matches the W-243 connector's crimp pocket dimensions, conductor barrel shape, and crimping depth specification for a compliant crimp that meets the connector manufacturer's electrical resistance, pull-out strength, and dimensional requirements. Using the correct Milwaukee die for the specific W-243 connector specification is essential for producing crimps that pass inspection and certification requirements for utility and commercial electrical installations.
Milwaukee clearly marks the die with its size designation for accurate die identification during field use — preventing the use of an incorrect die size that would produce a non-compliant crimp that appears visually similar to a correct crimp but fails to meet the conductor-to-connector electrical and mechanical performance specifications. The die set is compatible with Milwaukee's M18 FORCE LOGIC cordless hydraulic crimping platforms, integrating with Milwaukee's EXACT die system for quick, tool-free die changes between connector sizes during production crimping work. Milwaukee manufactures these dies to the precision tolerance specifications required for consistent, compliant crimps across the conductor sizes the W-243 connector is designed for.
