A key with a resistor pellet is assembled by mechanically inserting the pellet into a suitable aperture in the key and displacing a portion of the key material into the body of the pellet by compressing the key around the perimeter of the pellet in a swaging process. The pellet is automatically selected from a plurality of pellets having a plurality of distinctive resistance properties. The pellet is tested to determine conformance with a pre-selected resistance property prior to insertion in the key. After insertion and swaging of the pellet in the key, the resistance properties of the pellet are reconfirmed.
