Compression Die for 5/16 in Wire Rope

This Huskie Tools 516AC compression die is designed for electricians and line workers who crimp aluminum or copper lugs up to 5/16 in. The blue colour code identifies the correct die size for quick selection on site. It pairs with compatible hand or power crimpers for reliable terminations.

12 ton Maximum Crimping Force

The die set delivers a maximum crimping force of 12 ton when used with a suitable crimper. This single rating determines whether the die can handle the connector and conductor combination you are terminating. Verify your crimper meets this force requirement before purchase.

Hand or Power Crimper Operation

The die set works with both hand-operated and powered crimping tools, allowing flexibility across job sites. Normal use involves standard manual or hydraulic actuation without special cooling or noise concerns. Power draw depends entirely on the crimper used.

Questions about this item

What does the 12 ton crimping force mean when I use this die in a real job?

It means the die set is rated for presses that deliver up to 12 tons of force, so it will handle the largest aluminium or copper lugs rated for 5/16 inch without overloading the tool.

Which crimper models does the 516AC die set fit?

The die set is made for Huskie crimpers 13D361 and 13D372; it will not seat properly in other hand or power crimpers.

What physical space does the upper and lower die set need to mount?

The two die halves mount directly into the crimper head, so the only clearance required is the crimper's own die pocket — no extra brackets or adapters are needed.
