Terminal Blocks - Accessories - Marker Strips

0380090099 application field and working principle

Marker strips, referred to by the part number 0380090099, are a type of accessory used with terminal blocks. They are designed to improve organization of a wiring system by allowing for the labeling of individual connections and terminals.

The marker strips themselves are basically small plastic strips with self-adhesive backing that can be printed upon or written on with a permanent marker. In addition, the short lip portion of the strip at one end makes it possible to snap the strip onto the wire in a secure manner and prevent it from slipping off while still allowing it to be removed or remounted after the labeling process is complete. Furthermore, because order of the labels can be customized, the strips can serve as jumpers between multiple terminal blocks.

Furthermore, thanks to the different available sizes and colors, marker strips can be chosen to fit various needs as well as to make the wiring system easier to inspect and maintain. In addition, combined with marker cards, marker posts, and other items, marker strips serve as a great way to quickly finish a wiring assembly.

The specification and performance characteristics of marker strips vary according to their design and type, with the main application fields being the manufacturing of industrial control systems, machinery automation, and power distribution as well as in industries such as factory automation, transportation, municipalities, hotel systems, and other types of large-scale projects that require a detailed labeling system.

Working Principle

Marker strips are typically made from materials such as polyamide, polyurethane, and PVC and they come in a variety of colors and lengths, making them the perfect accessory for labeling. The actual operation of these strips is rather simple and can be summarized as follows:

• Attach the marker strip onto the wire.
• Secure the label onto the marker strip.
• Snap the marker strip into the terminal block.
• Perform the necessary wiring.

And that’s all there is to it – the marker strips now serve as an organized means of quickly labeling wires.
