0143200000 Terminal Block Accessories Marker Strips

Marker strips are a type of terminal block accessory designed to streamline and simplify the management of an electrical system wiring assembly. By providing a visual system of labeling and organization of individual terminals, marker strips create a distinct and intuitive method of identifying circuits and connections for easy maintenance and troubleshooting.

Application Field

Marker strips are often used in industrial and commercial applications for the purpose of managing and organizing terminal strips. Most applications include small control panels, industrial machines, electrical panels, busways, isolators and “little fuses boxes” where individual terminals need to be clearly identified and distinguished. Marker strips are also often used in the automotive and aircraft industries to identify terminals and connections in order to prevent electrical failures and malfunctions due to impossible or difficult to trace connections.

Working Principle

The strips feature an adhesive backing which allows them to be easily attached to almost any surface, such as terminal strips, electrical boxes, or panels. Marker strips come in different sizes, both single and double line. The type of stripped used in any application depends on the need of the application. They could be chosen as per the length of the circuit and the number of terminals being connected, as well as the presence (or lack) of insulation.

From a functional perspective, the central principle behind each type of marker strip is the same: a simple way to differentiate between active and inactive connections. For example, a single line and a double line marker strip are typically used when it’s necessary to distinguish between wires which will be used at the same time or interchangeably. This allows for easier maintenance and troubleshooting of the system.

Conclusion

Marker strips are a vital component of any electrical system, providing a convenient method for labeling and organizing individual terminals. Marker strips are designed to take up minimal space, and come in a wide variety of sizes and configurations, allowing them to be used in virtually any application. From automotive and aircraft assembly to industrial machinery and small control systems, marker strips are designed to simplify the management and maintenance of any system, helping to ensure that connections remain safe and reliable.
