Product Description
Milwaukee W Style W-BG Crimping Die
Model Number: 49-16-WBG0
The Milwaukee 49-16-WBG0 is a W Style W-BG Crimping Die for Milwaukee M18 FORCE LOGIC hydraulic crimping systems — a precision-machined die set for making W-BG profile compression connector crimps on specified conductor sizes in utility distribution, substation, and commercial electrical connector termination applications. The W-BG die is a specific size designation within the W-style die standard used with W-style compression connectors — the die geometry matches the W-BG 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 die for the specific connector being terminated is essential — using an incorrect die size produces a crimp that may appear visually acceptable but fails to meet the performance specifications required for safe, compliant electrical connections.
Milwaukee clearly marks the die with its W-BG size designation for accurate identification during field use — preventing die mix-up that would produce non-compliant crimps that require rework and can present safety hazards in energized utility and commercial electrical systems. The W-BG die integrates with Milwaukee's EXACT die system for quick tool-free die changes between connector sizes during production crimping work on commercial and utility electrical projects. Milwaukee manufactures the die to the precision tolerances required for consistent, inspection-compliant crimps on the conductor sizes the W-BG connector is rated for. Always verify connector manufacturer specifications for the correct die size for each specific connector and conductor combination being terminated.
