ABSTRACT:
A keying system for an electrical connector (10, 16) is disclosed. Keying members (160, 234) are provided in mating pairs so that one is assembled to the cable connector (10) and the other is assembled to the mating panel connector (16). Each of the keying members (160,234) is assembled by inserting it into the open end of the connector so that lugs (186,236) on the dielectric insert (44,218) within the connector enter camming slots (178) in the keying member (160,234) which is then twisted to lock it in place. The keying members can be easily and conveniently assembled and disassembled in the field by the end user.
