The WAGO 248-502 is a Mini-WSB quick labelling system, specifically developed for efficient identification of terminals and other components in connection technology. It serves for the unambiguous identification of connection points in enclosures, control systems, and other electrical installations. The system enables quick and clean labelling through pre-fabricated, consecutively numbered labels that are directly applied to the terminals. Labelling is done horizontally, with digits from 1 to 10 arranged per strip, ensuring clear and structured identification.
Quick labelling system
The Mini-WSB system is designed for use in compact and densely populated control panels. The labels have a width of 5 mm and are arranged in strips, with each strip containing 10 labels. In total, 10 such strips are included per card, corresponding to a total of 100 labels. Labelling is done in white with black digits, ensuring high readability even under low lighting conditions. The horizontal orientation of the digits supports quick orientation within the enclosure.
Functions and equipment in detail
The labels are designed to be placed directly onto the terminals and secured by pressure or mechanical locking. The consecutive numbering from 1 to 10 per strip enables systematic identification, which can be easily continued when multiple strips are used. The white colour of the labels provides high contrast against the black labelling, improving readability. The material selection ensures sufficient durability under typical operating conditions in industrial environments.
Technology explained simply
The system is based on a simple yet effective principle: pre-fabricated, numbered labels are directly applied to the terminals. The labels are not self-adhesive, but are secured by mechanical fixation (e.g. by pressure or integrated holding elements of the terminal). The width of 5 mm is suitable for narrow terminals and densely populated control panels. Horizontal labelling is particularly useful when terminals are arranged horizontally, as the digits are aligned parallel to the connection direction.
Compatibility and accessories
The WAGO 248-502 is specifically designed for use with WAGO terminals, particularly Mini-WSB terminals that support a label width of 5 mm. It is not intended for other terminal formats or widths. The labels are not universally applicable, but are precisely matched to the intended terminal constructions. The labelling is done in white, ensuring clear visibility.
Installation and mounting
Mounting is done by simply placing the labels onto the respective terminal. The labels are designed to be secured by pressure or integrated holding elements of the terminal. No additional tools or adhesives are required. Labelling is done in horizontal orientation, so the digits are aligned parallel to the terminal arrangement. Installation is quick and requires no special preparation of the terminals.
Advantages in operation
Using the WAGO 248-502 enables quick and unambiguous identification of terminals, significantly simplifying maintenance, servicing, and fault finding in electrical installations. The consecutive numbering supports systematic labelling, and the high readability due to the contrast between white background and black text reduces errors in identification. The compact size of the labels (5 mm width) makes the system particularly suitable for densely populated control panels. Mechanical fixation without adhesive ensures long-lasting and reliable identification.
