DESCRIPTION
Each die assembly consists of an upper die (crimper) and a lower die (anvil), a retaining screw (on the upper
die), and a hex wrench for securing the lower die to the platform of the hand tool frame.
The die assemblies are identified by part numbers, color dot codes, and applicable wire range designations
(see Figure 1). The 90390-3 die assembly has a red color dot on both the crimper and the anvil, while the
90391-3 die assembly has a blue color dot on the crimper and the anvil. The color coding on the die assembly
corresponds to the color coding on the translucent insulation of the Ultra-Fast FASTON terminal for easier
identification when crimping.
INSTALLATION
Determine the part number of the terminal you are crimping, then refer to the table in Figure 2 and select the
appropriate die assembly. Install dies as described below.
PROPER USE GUIDELINES
