1. INTRODUCTION
2. DESCRIPTION (Figure 1)
“T”--HEAD Crimper 217202--1 is designed to crimp
PIDG* and PLASTI--GRIP* terminals on wire sizes
22--14 AWG. The crimper is used with 626 Pneumatic
Tooling Assemblies 189721--1, 189722--1, 189723--1,
and 189724--1. For information concerning the setup
and operation of the pneumatic tools, refer to
Customer Manual 409--5862.
The “T”--HEAD Crimper attaches (via four quick pins)
to the tool holder assembly of the pneumatic power
unit. When actuated, a cam extends through the tool
holder into the crimper, driving an internal, roller-guided envelope. The other end of this mechanism is
connected to an anvil and, as the cam pushes against
the roller--guided envelope, the anvil moves in a
straight line and bottoms against a stationary
indenter. When the cam of the pneumatic tool
retracts, the force is removed from the envelope.
This instruction sheet provides:
S Installation and removal of the crimper from the
tool holder assembly.
S Maintenance, inspection, and repair information
for the crimper.
For information concerning wire preparation, crimping
procedures, and crimp inspection, refer to the
associated instructions supplied with the terminals.
Read these instructions thoroughly before
proceeding.
NOTE
i
Measurements are in metric units [followed by
U.S. customary units in brackets]. Figures and
illustrations are not drawn to scale and are for
reference only.
The envelope must then be manually retracted by use
of a plastic slide switch. The plastic slide switch
permits opening and closing of the anvil for insertion
and removal of terminals or splices.
3. INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL OF CRIMPER (Figure 1)
Before installing the crimper, refer to Customer
Manual 409--5862 for instructions on installing the
appropriate tool holder assembly (including cam) on
the pneumatic tool. After the appropriate tool holder
assembly has been installed, proceed as follows:
NOTE
Removal is the reverse of installation.

DANGER
DANGER
To prevent personal injury, ALWAYS disconnect
the main air supply and electrical supply (if
applicable) of the pneumatic tool before installing
or removing the crimper.
DO NOT operate pneumatic tool without the
crimper assembly installed. After crimper is
installed, verify that the quick pins are FULLY
tightened to avoid personal injury and damage to
the tool.
1. Remove quick pins from tool holder assembly.
Refer to Figure 1.
2. Slide the crimper into tool holder assembly,
aligning the threaded holes on the crimper with the
quick pin holes on the tool holder.
3. After crimper is properly aligned in the tool
holder assembly, insert and tighten the quick pins.
Refer to Figure 2.
NOTE
i
Tyco Electronics recommends using Loctite{ No.
242 removable threadlock, or equivalent, to
prevent the quick pins from loosening.

4.1. Daily Maintenance
Tyco Electronics recommends that each operator be
responsible for the following steps of daily
maintenance:
1. Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants
with a clean, soft brush, or a lint--free cloth. DO
NOT use objects that could damage the crimper.
2. Make sure that all pins, rings, and other
components are in place and secure.
3. Make certain all surfaces are protected with a
thin coat of any good SAE 20 motor oil. DO NOT
oil excessively.
4. When the crimper is not in use, store it in a
clean, dry area.
4.2. Periodic Inspection
Regular inspections should be performed by
quality--control personnel. A record of scheduled
inspections should remain with the crimper or be
supplied to supervisory personnel responsible for the
crimper. Though recommendations call for at least
one inspection a month, the frequency should be
based on amount of use, working conditions, operator
training and skill, and your established company
policies. These inspections should include a visual
inspection as described in Paragraph 4.3.
4.3. Visual Inspection
1. Remove all lubrication and accumulated film by
immersing the crimper in a suitable commercial
degreaser that will not affect paint or plastic.
2. Make certain all components are in place. If
replacements are necessary, refer to Paragraph 6,
REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR.
3. Check all bearing surfaces for wear. Replace
worn parts.
Figure 2
4.4. Lubrication
4. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
Tyco Electronics recommends that a maintenance
and inspection program be performed periodically to
ensure dependable and uniform terminations.
DANGER
To avoid personal injury, ALWAYS disconnect the
main air supply and electrical supply (if
applicable) of the pneumatic tool system before
performing maintenance or inspection.

Lubricate all pins, pivot points, and bearing surfaces
with a high quality grease. Tyco Electronics
recommends the use of MolykoteD grease, which is a
commercially available lubricant. Lubricate according
to the following schedule:
S Crimper used in daily production -- lubricate
daily
S Crimper used daily (occasional) -- lubricate
weekly
S Crimper used weekly -- lubricate monthly

5. CRIMPER DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY
These instructions provide disassembly and assembly
procedures which are to be used whenever internal
parts of the crimper are to be replaced.
5.1. Disassembly (Refer to Figure 3)
1. Obtain a 12.7 mm [.50 in.] thick wooden block
with a surface area large enough to accommodate
the crimper. Lay the flat side of the crimper (side
opposite the plastic slide switch) on the work
surface of the block. Mark the block at the
approximate locations of the two slotted spring pins
on each side of the crimper. At the marks, drill two
1/4--inch holes through the wooden block. The
holes will facilitate driving the slotted spring pins
out the bottom of the crimper.
2. Reposition the crimper on the block so the
slotted spring pins line up with the holes in the
block. Using a 1/8--inch punch, drive the slotted
pins approximately 6.35 mm [.250 in.] through the
crimper housing.
3. Remove the shoulder screw which secures the
plastic slide switch to the internal envelope and
remove the plastic slide switch.
4. Remove the four shoulder cap screws and the
four spring washers which secure the two outer
housings to the center housing, then remove the
outer housing.
5.2. Assembly (Refer to Figure 3)
1. Properly assemble internal parts, using Figure 3
as a guide, and position the roller--guided envelope
assembly in the center housing.
Rev A
2. Replace outer housing and secure with the four
shoulder cap screws (with spring washers). DO
NOT tighten screws.
3. Position the plastic slide switch so that the
protruding slotted spring pin fits into the slide
groove on the bottom of the switch. Then slide the
switch to align its mounting hole with the hole in
the envelope.
4. Insert the shoulder screw through the plastic
switch into the hole in the envelope and tighten the
screw.
5. Tighten the four shoulder cap screws.
6. Using a bench vice, press the two slotted spring
pins back into the housing.
6. REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR
Replacement parts and recommended spares are
listed in Figure 4. The recommended spares should
be stocked for immediate replacement. Replacement
parts can be ordered from:
