Abstract
A connection assembly for facilitating connection between a terminal block and a module containing protective relay circuitry. The assembly includes a keycode plate molded to align with and fit over terminal block connection elements extending through openings provided in the keycode plate. The assembly also includes one or more keycode elements fitting into keycode element reception areas provided in the keycode plate, and a module cover having pre-existing slots located and dimensioned so as to align with and receive corresponding keycode elements. The assembly substantially ensures that the correct module is connected to a correct terminal block and substantially prevents an incorrect module from being connected to an incorrect terminal block.
