Terminal Blocks - Accessories - Marker Strips

Marker strips are essential accessories for many basic terminal blocks. They are used to label the terminals, indicating the purpose of the circuit and increasing safety when the terminal blocks require frequent readjustment or maintenance. The 247A11-16 model in particular is greatly sought after for industrial automation applications.

Application Field

The 247A11-16 marker strip is ideal for applications in plant automation, companies that maintain industrial systems, and any other control systems needing to improve safety and control. This model supports both plant and machine systems in a wide range of scales, from small operations to large-scale industrial processes.

Working Principle

The 247A11-16 marker strip consists of a plastic body and a paper label. The plastic body contains an adjustable lug, which latches onto the base of the terminal block. The label is wrapped around the plastic body and adhered onto itself so that it creates a paper loop. The printed information is visible when the paper loop closes in the middle of the plastic body. As supplying power to the terminal can cause heat and damage the label if not properly protected, this model includes a special plastic cover to keep the label safe from heat.

Advantages

The 247A11-16 marker strip possesses several advantages over similar marker strip models. One of the most important advantages is its compatibility with an array of terminal blocks, including those from both Eaton and Phoenix Contact. It also includes an adjustable length system for the momentary position of the label, so that it fits perfectly onto the terminal. Additionally, its special plastic cover help protect the label from heat damage.

Conclusion

The 247A11-16 marker strip is an essential accessory for many terminal blocks and automation equipment. It helps improve safety, makes it easier to identify the purpose of the circuit, and prevents heat damage. This model in particular is highly sought after, due to its compatibility with various terminal blocks and the special protective cover for its label.
