16. POLARIZATION. Connectors are polarized as
denoted by their part numbers. This means that the
master keyway is rotated to prevent mis-mating of
similar connectors in a similar location. A plug with a
given polarization letter will mate with a receptacle
with same letter. The inserts do not rotate, only the
keyway is rotated.
17. PART NUMBER. The following paragraphs contain
information necessary for proper selection and
procurement of connector (Figure 3).
