Abstract
A male-female keying device formed of two elongated strips, one on each element that is to be keyed. Correspondingly positioned holes are in each strip. A few projecting male pins are located in selected holes in one strip and several non-projecting pins are located in each hole of the other strip except those holes that are positioned to receive the male projecting pins. A pair of spaced apart elongated pins act as guides in assembling the two strips. A relatively large number of holes in both strips allows a very large number of codes to be arranged, whereby only one pair of male and female strips can be mated.
