Abstract: A method and apparatus for pull fitting contacts. Contacts tails initially are placed through apertures on a mounting member. A support member having a pair of clamping jaws which clamp the contact ends encloses an actuation plate which after the tails are clamped pushes the mounting member relative to the support member thereby inserting the contacts completely into an insulative housing.
