Abstract

Keying members (42--42), used to permit mating connectors (32--32) to be inserted onto the proper locations on a backplane (22) of a PCB mounting shelf (10), are initially inserted in a transfer member (62). The transfer member (62) is then positioned proximate the backplane (22) and the keying members (42--42) are urged therefrom onto the backplane (22) by an ejection apparatus (60).
