Crimping dies 90080-2 and 90103 are recommended 
for crimping the tape-mounted contacts listed in
Figure 2. These dies are designed for use in 
Pneumatic Tool 69118-1.

Read this instruction sheet for specific information 
concerning the dies, applicable contacts and wire 
specifications. Read the instructions (Customer

SUMMARY.

2. DESCRIPTION

Each die assembly consists of a stationary die and a 
moving die.

The stationary dies have chamfered corners and 
feature color-coded dots which match the color-coding 
on the insulation barrel or wire barrel of the contact. 
This color-coding indicates the wire range of the 
contact. See Figure 2.

The moving dies have square corners and feature an 
alignment plate and wire size markings. Notice that 
the die holding screws are also color-coded. This 
facilitates mating of the dies and also mates with the 
color-coding on the shoulder of the contact. See 
Figure 2.
