You decided to use terminals made by Weidmüller. Now you can choose out of a large accessory portfolio. SIHA fuse holder The SIHA fuse holder turns your disconnect test terminal into a fuse terminal within seconds. Just remove the disconnect lever, and plug-in the fuse connector – ready!
Mounting rails, shaped rails, end brackets Active and passive components as well as intelligent modules are installed on mounting rails. This method has been used successfully for years. To complete the installation, however, a number of seemingly insignificant items are necessary.
Cross-connections
In this chapter you will find various mounting rails and shaped rails for use in installing components, as well as end brackets for holding components in position and blanking off the last terminal.
Cross-connections are used to make potential distribution simple. You can cross connect terminal blocks that are direct neighbouring, but you can also skip one or more terminals.
These apparently trivial items ensure that components are seated firmly and insulated. Weidmüller supplies components which are totally co-ordinated in their functionality.
Test plugs Test plugs and test adapters are used for final testing of completed wired terminal strips. These products are also helpful for practical tests during operation.

Terminal markers If you wish to avoid confusion with cables, terminals and equipment in an installation, all operational material must be marked clearly and visibly. DIN/EN 60204 Part 1 and VDE 0133 regulations on marking equipment and machinery stipulate comprehensive marking. Electrical conductors must also be clearly identificable at every point of connection and in accordance with the technical documentation, e.g. wiring diagram. There are two methods of achieving this: • marking based on a system of colour codes or • marking with the number of the connection. Our ready-to-use markers are pre-printed with the majority of commonly used numbers, letters and symbols used by electricians and fitters. Good legibility, sturdy and lasting print and easy availability are just some of the welcome features. We can also print “just-in-time” from your CAD data or from your lists. Depending on the material used for the markers, we will plot, print or enscribe using high-quality laser print. Custom-printed markers are easy to use, incur no storage costs and make best use of the material. Weidmüller supplies almost all marking materials as blank markers for the customer to enscribe on-site. To complement these blank markers we offer a complete range of hardware and software for on-site machine-assisted marking that deliver professional and quickly produced results. This chapter is subdivided in line with common working practices in: • ready-to-use markers with standard or custom printing • blank markers for inscription on-site.
