PROPER USE GUIDELINES
Cumulative Trauma Disorders can result from the prolonged use of manually powered hand tools. Hand tools are intended for occasional use and low
volume applications. A wide selection of powered application equipment for extended-use, production operations is available.
INTRODUCTION
Platform Crimping Die Assemblies 90390-3 and 90391-3 are used in Platform Hand Tool Frame 58078-3
(Instruction Sheet 408-6976). The die assemblies crimp the Ultra-Fast Fully Insulated FASTON* Terminals
listed in Figure 2.
Read These instructions before using the Platform Hand Tool Frame and Platform Crimping Dies.
NOTE
Dimensions are in millimeters [with inch equivalents in brackets]. Figures are for identification only and are not drawn to scale.
Reasons for reissue are provided in Section 7, REVISION SUMMARY.
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.
