A tool (100) for orienting and seating a programmable key (36) in an electrical connector (10). The tool (100) is designed for use with keying systems (30) which includes a key (36) having an extended keying portion (68), and which is rotatable to position the keying portion (68) at any selected one of a plurality of orientations when the key (36) is partially inserted into a key-receiving passageway (31) in the connector (10), and which is thereafter fully insertable into the passageway (31) to lock the key (36) in the passageway (31) in the selected orientation. The tool (100) comprises a sleeve (101) having a bore (102), a cylindrical member (103) positioned within the bore (102) and including an extended portion (112) at its forward end for defining a space (131) for receiving the extended keying portion (68) or a key (36) when the member (103) is in a retracted first position in the sleeve (101); means for rotating the member (103) while the member (103) is in the retracted first position to rotate the key (36) to a selected orientation when the extended keying portion (68) of the key (36) is received in the space (131); and means (121) for coupling the member (103) to the sleeve (101) while permitting axial movement of the member (103) relative to the sleeve (101) whereby the oriented key (36) is fully inserted into a key-receiving passageway (31) by moving the member (103) axially forward relative to the sleeve (101) to an extended second position.
