Terminal Blocks - Accessories - Marker Strips.

Terminal blocks are electrical connecters, and aids in the wiring of electrical signals. They come in several configurations, which includes the marker strips. Marker strips enable to easily identify and label several wires and cables that the terminal blocks are connected to. This ensures that the wiring connections remain orderly and easier to troubleshoot in case of any connection errors.

The marker strips have a long history of use in the industry, ever since 1868. However, with advances in technology it has undergone several changes, in order to facilitate streamlined and safe wiring installations. Its main purpose is to visually indicate which cable belongs to which connection in the terminal block.

The size of the marker strip is much smaller than the size of the terminal strip. There can even be many strips on a single terminal block. They come in different materials like transparent or carbon-type markings. But the numbering and color coding will remain the same.

The working principle is quite simple. Each terminal strip will have their own unique identification number, and the corresponding marker strip will have the same serial number printed on it. It helps the electricians to keep track of the wiring and connections. This makes it easier to trace back the wiring when troubleshooting an issue.

In order to ensure optimal safety and longevity of the strip, it is recommended that it is installed with screws and not simply by clamping. The screws, when tightened properly, will provide firm contact with the terminal block, and secure the marker strip from unauthorised movement.

Marker strips are available in different sizes and shapes, depending on what type of wiring and connections are required. They are also available in different materials like vinyl, plastic or even brass. Vinyl strips are usually used when waterproofing of a connection is required. Plastic strips of non-corrosive nature are used when a longer lifespan is required. And Brass is used when a more durable connection is needed.

These strips are easy to manufacture and relatively cheap, making it an ideal solution for many electrical wiring projects. Marker strips ensure that the wiring and connections remain safe and easy to troubleshoot. Thus, making it an essential part of any industry where electrical wiring is involved.
