Terminal Blocks - Accessories - Marker Strips

Marker strips are necessary for quick identification of the circuits and connecting of terminals in terminal block products. Marker strips are essentially printed labels, such as identification letters or numbers, that are used to mark the individual terminals and conductors in electrical control systems.

0829485 Application Field and Working Principle

Marker strips are widely used in electronic equipment and circuit boards such as electrical control cabinets and junction boxes. Marker strips save time during equipment assembly and installation, making it faster for experienced personnel to identify and connect circuits. In addition, marker strips help to identify terminals or wiring to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment in the long run.

The working principle of marker strips is simple. It contains printed labels or symbols that are easy to identify. Depending on the type of marker strip used, the labels or symbols can be printed on paper, plastic, or self-adhesive backing. The labels or symbols can come personally printed by an operator or printed in an automated manner with a special printing device or machine.

The labels can be standardised to prevent operator error during assembly. There are industry standards that some marker strip manufacturers will follow. The most common type of marker strip used in industrial settings are numerical, which consists of numbering increments of a predetermined scheme. It is important to note that marker strips can also vary in length, depending on the application. Some marker strips are long enough to accommodate for a large number of terminals or conductors.

In addition, marker strips can be used for personalised or customised recording of specific information in an electrical control system. For example, the labels can contain information about the manufacturer, model number, voltage information, or circuit diagrams. Furthermore, the labels can also be used to label specific terminals in an electrical control system.

All in all, marker strips provide a quick and easy way to identify the components of an electrical control system. They are essential in helping to save time during assembly, installation, and maintenance, as well as helping to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment.
