It is cadmium-plated and yellow, making it visually distinct from other keys in the system. The key physically blocks incorrect header-receptacle pairings, ensuring that only the right mating half engages during assembly or field service.
Yes, the 5-100526-6 is ROHS3 Compliant despite its cadmium plating, which falls under an accepted RoHS exemption for certain connector applications.
Yes, it is designed for use with Z-Pack series receptacle housings. The key inserts into the housing to provide mechanical polarisation.
