Abstract
A plug-to-socket keying device includes a housing having an adjustment recess having a detent portion. A plurality of electrical contacts are carried by the housing. An alignment key is provided with a mating end. An indexing segment is connected to the mating end, which is shaped to define a plurality of rotational index positions. The alignment key is axially movable relative to the adjustment recess into a set position. The indexing segment is movable from the detent portion so as to allow rotation of the alignment key relative to the housing. A spring is arranged to bias the alignment key toward the set position. The alignment key is settable to a chosen one of the plurality of rotational index positions by moving the alignment key into its adjustment position and rotating the alignment key to the chosen rotational index position.
