ABSTRACT:
First and second connector housings are keyed to each other by means of identical parts which can serve as either keys or keyway plugs. The identical parts are produced as a continuous strip comprising a carrier strip from which the parts extend at spaced apart intervals. In the practice of the invention, a section of strip is used which has a number of parts thereon equal to the number of keying positions in the connector assembly. One or more of the identical parts are removed from the strip and assembled to the first housing. Thereafter the remaining parts on the strip are aligned with the keying positions on the second housing and assembled to the second housing. The carrier strip can then be separated from the remaining identical parts.
