Terminal Blocks – Accessories – Marker Strips

Terminal blocks with accessories, such as marker strips, are commonly used in control panel applications. The marker strips provide a convenient way to identify circuits and wire connections in a panel. Marker strips are attached to terminal blocks to identify both the target and the connecting devices. They can also convey information such as, a circuit number, wire size, voltage, or control rating. Terminal block markers can also be used to label wiring diagrams.

Marker strips are generally printed or trimmed with a durable ink, usually nylon, on a durable long-lasting PVC material. This ensures resistance to corrosion, continuous temperatures up to 95°C/203°F, and a variety of industrial liquids and solvents. Most marker strips are designed to be flexible, allowing easy installation along the base of a terminal block. In addition to marker strips, other useful terminal block accessories include, jumper bars, network buttons, channel plates, end plates, and bridge blocks.

Today\'s terminal blocks are designed with a broad range of features. Many modern terminal blocks have electrical connections that use a combination of plug and socket connections. This type of connection system ensures a quick and secure connection in a compact form. Typically, the connections on a terminal block are inserted into a plug that fits into the socket in the terminal block. This type of connection system minimizes installation time and costs.

When it comes to amperage, most modern terminal blocks are designed to handle up to 15A/point. And the best part is, there are now terminal blocks that can handle up to 30A/point. This means that with one terminal block, you can provide power to multiple devices and wire harnesses. In order to protect the equipment, many terminals also come with handles that limit the power to just enough for the job at hand.

Terminal blocks with accessories offer a robust, compact, and reliable solution for many control panel applications. They provide a secure point of connection for both the target and connecting devices, ensuring reliable functionality and connection integrity. They are easy to install and provide cost efficiency with the use of fewer parts. With a variety of accessories such as, marker strips, jumper bars, network buttons, channel plates, end plates, and bridge blocks, terminal blocks provide a versatile and reliable control system solution, especially for industrial applications.
