Terminal Blocks – Accessories – Marker Strips – 247A11-18 Application Field and Working Principle

Terminal blocks are used to connect circuitry components by organizing separate blocks on a board with a cover. Terminal blocks have several benefits compared to wiring to panels directly, such as the ability to easily add or subtract wires from a connection, and since the wiring is more organized it takes up less space. Marker strips are an optional accessory that is used to identify each individual connection on the circuit board. The 247A11-18 is a marker strip specifically designed for terminal blocks from Mitsubishi Electric.

The stamped terminal construction on the 247A11-18 insures that it is vibration and shock resistant. This terminal is composed of two insulated parts in order to prevent electrical conduction and ensure safety. Another safety feature that this terminal offers is that it is resistive to overcurrent, making it a reliable choice in any harsh environment. There is a forming plate with each terminal strip set to reduce installation time and prevent any worker from facing hazard conditions.

The 247A11-18 Marker Strip is designed for use with Mitsubishi’s TK 12 TS Series Terminal Blocks or other similar blocks. It comes in a two-pole construction with EC3 or EC5 connection styles. The stripping length on it is from 6.35mm to 10mm, and the terminal strip can accommodate wire sizes of 0.32 to 6.0mm² cross-sectional area. The dimensions of the strip are 28mm wide and 30.5mm high.

The 247A11-18 has two features that make transitioning from the older TK 11 Series Terminal Blocks to the newer 12 Series Blocks easier. First, it provides a predefined design that eliminates the need for adaptation during the transition process. Secondly, the 247A11-18 Marker Strip offers a more secure and reliable connection when used in conjunction with the 12 Series Blocks.

In order to properly connect the 247A11-18 Marker Strip to its respective terminal block, the connection needs to be fastened using screws. This provides a reliable connection that is also easily removable if needed. After the connection is secured, the marker strip can be used to label and assign individual terminals for easier reference when troubleshooting any issues in the future. This can be done by using a variety of label materials, such as paper or plastic, which can be inserted into the marker strip.

The 247A11-18 Marker Strip is available in a variety of colors to better distinguish each terminal connection when tracing out the wiring of a circuit. This allows engineers to quickly trace out a circuit and isolate any issues that arise quickly. With its ease of use, safety features, and ability to label each connection, the 247A11-18 Marker Strip is an essential accessory for any terminal block from Mitsubishi.
