Frequently asked questions
Common questions about TRI-DEX from 3G Electric.
What sizes are available for TRI-DEX snap-on label holders?
TRI-DEX snap-on label holders are available in several sizes to accommodate different label dimensions. Common sizes include 3 in x 7/8 in (MPN TR-0813), 3 in x 1 in (MPN TR-1300), 3 in x 1 1/4 in (MPN TR-1253), 4 in x 1 3/4 in (MPN TR-1754), and 4 in x 1 7/8 in (MPN TR-2400). These sizes cover typical label widths used for wire marking, terminal identification, and component labeling in industrial control panels.
How are TRI-DEX label holders mounted?
TRI-DEX label holders use a snap-on mounting type, which allows them to be attached directly to standard DIN rails or panel surfaces without screws or adhesives. The snap-on design provides a secure fit while enabling quick installation and removal for label changes or system modifications. This mounting method reduces installation time compared to adhesive or screw-mounted alternatives.
What material are TRI-DEX label holders made from?
TRI-DEX label holders are manufactured from plastic with a smooth finish. The plastic material is selected for durability in industrial environments, resisting impacts, dust, and moisture. The clear color ensures that inserted labels remain visible, and the material does not yellow or become brittle under normal indoor operating conditions.
Can labels be changed easily in TRI-DEX holders?
Yes, TRI-DEX label holders feature a slide-in label attachment type, which allows users to insert or replace labels without removing the holder from its mounting surface. This design simplifies updates during system reconfigurations or maintenance, as labels can be swapped out quickly using standard paper or synthetic label stock.
Are TRI-DEX label holders suitable for outdoor use?
TRI-DEX label holders are primarily designed for indoor industrial applications such as electrical panels and control cabinets. While the plastic material offers some resistance to moisture and dust, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, or corrosive environments may degrade performance. For outdoor or harsh conditions, consider enclosures or holders rated for such environments.
How many TRI-DEX label holders are included per package?
TRI-DEX snap-on label holders are typically packaged in quantities of 25 per pack. This standard pack size allows for consistent ordering for projects requiring multiple labels, and 3G Electric stocks these packs for various sizes to support procurement needs.
