Product Description
Milwaukee W Style W-K840 Crimping Die
Model Number: 49-16-W840
The Milwaukee 49-16-W840 is a W Style W-K840 Crimping Die for the Milwaukee M18 FORCE LOGIC hydraulic crimping system — a precision-machined die set for making W-K840 profile compression connector crimps on specified conductor sizes in utility distribution, substation, and commercial electrical connector termination applications. The W-K840 die is a specific size designation within the W-style die standard used with W-style compression connectors — the die geometry matches the W-K840 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 for utility and commercial electrical service. Using the correct W-K840 die for the connector being terminated is essential — an incorrect die produces a non-compliant crimp that may appear visually acceptable but fails the performance specifications required for safe, reliable connections in energized utility distribution systems where non-compliant terminations represent a serious safety hazard and can result in costly service failures requiring emergency rework.
Milwaukee clearly marks the die with its W-K840 size designation for accurate identification during field use — preventing the die mix-up that would produce non-compliant crimps requiring costly rework in energized utility systems where safety and reliability cannot be compromised. The W-K840 die integrates with Milwaukee's EXACT die system for quick tool-free changes during production crimping on utility distribution and commercial electrical projects. Milwaukee manufactures the die to precision tolerances for consistent, inspection-compliant crimps across the conductor sizes the W-K840 connector specification is rated for. Always verify connector manufacturer specifications for the correct die and conductor combination before beginning any termination work.
