What it represents
A terminal strip assembles connection points and accessories into an identified physical arrangement. Its schedule connects terminals to conductors, field devices and equipment. Additional links, disconnect facilities or test accessories change the assembly scope.
The original envelope illustration is unscaled and has no manufacturer dimensions. Follow the cited public resources to the exact product, then use its current drawing and installation information for engineering work.
How to read it
- Match physical terminal order to the terminal schedule.
- Identify accessories and special-function terminals separately.
Information to show or reference
- Reference the terminal products and accessories.
- Match strip and terminal identification.
- Link the schematic and wiring schedule.
A distinction that matters
A terminal connection symbol is an electrical reference; a terminal strip is a physical assembly with a documented arrangement.
