3M SDR-MINUS Wire Marker Tape, Minus Symbol

The 3M SDR-MINUS wire marker tape is a minus (-) symbol marker from 3M's SDR wire marker tape lineup, purpose-built to help electricians and maintenance teams clearly label wires, cables, and terminal points that require a negative or minus designation. Supplied as an adhesive-based wire marker tape, the SDR-MINUS marker is designed for direct application to wires, cables, and conduit, giving installers a fast, legible way to identify polarity or negative connection points within a larger electrical identification system. As part of a coordinated labeling scheme, this marker supports the kind of clear, consistent wire identification that professional electrical work depends on for safety, traceability, and efficient troubleshooting.

Because it is printed specifically with the minus symbol, the SDR-MINUS tape is meant to be paired with the broader 3M SDR wire marker series, which includes numbers, letters, and additional symbols. This allows electricians to build out a complete, standardized wire and cable identification scheme across an entire panel, enclosure, or facility rather than relying on inconsistent or hand-written labels that can fade, smudge, or become illegible over time. Clear identification of minus/negative terminations is especially important in DC power systems, control wiring, and any application where reversed polarity could cause equipment damage or safety issues.

Key Features

  • Minus Symbol Marker: Printed with the minus (-) symbol, allowing wires, cables, and terminals to be clearly and unmistakably marked wherever a negative or minus designation is required.
  • Wire Marker Tape Format: Supplied as an adhesive-based marker tape intended for direct application to wires, cables, and conduit for quick, tool-free identification in the field.
  • Part of the 3M SDR Wire Marker Line: Designed to complement the numbers, letters, and symbols in the SDR wire marker tape series, enabling installers to build complete, coordinated wire identification schemes.
  • Supports Organized Wiring Systems: Helps maintain clear, traceable labeling across panels, junction boxes, terminal blocks, and wiring runs, reducing the chance of miswiring or confusion during service and maintenance.
  • Consistent Labeling System: Works alongside the full range of 3M SDR wire markers to create clear, standardized wire and cable identification practices across an entire facility.
  • 3M Manufacturing: Produced by 3M, a manufacturer widely relied upon across commercial and industrial electrical identification and labeling applications.

3M SDR-0 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which legends can I order in the 3M ScotchCode SDR wire marker refill rolls?
The SDR refill rolls come as single-legend rolls, and the available legends are the digits 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 9, the letters RD, plus the plus (+) and minus (-) symbols. Each legend is its own part number, for example SDR-0 for zero and SDR-RD for the RD legend, so you order one roll per character you need to mark.
2) Do I need a separate roll for every number in a wire number sequence?
Yes. Each SDR roll carries one repeating legend, so numbering a panel run 1 through 9 means buying the individual digit rolls. The digit rolls offered are 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 9. Electricians building a full wire-numbering scheme typically keep a set of the digit rolls on the truck and pull characters off each as needed.
3) What is the SDR-MINUS marker used for versus the plus roll?
The minus roll, part number SDR--(MINUS), prints the minus (-) symbol for negative or minus terminations, and the companion SDR-+(PLUS) roll prints the plus symbol. Pair them on DC power, battery, and control wiring where reversed polarity could damage equipment, and use the digit rolls alongside them to identify the circuit itself.
4) Can these markers be applied directly to wire without a printer or applicator?
Yes. ScotchCode SDR markers are pre-printed adhesive marker tape, so you peel a marker and wrap it straight onto the conductor, cable jacket, or conduit. No printer, ribbon, or software involved, which is why they suit field troubleshooting and retrofit work where you are labeling as you go.
5) Will these SDR markers stay legible in a control panel long term compared with hand-written labels?
That is the reason they exist. The legend is factory printed on adhesive marker tape rather than written on, so it does not smudge or fade the way marker pen on tape does. For maintenance teams servicing terminal blocks, junction boxes, and switchgear years after install, a printed SDR marker keeps the circuit traceable.
6) Can I standardize a whole facility's wire identification on the SDR line?
Yes, that is how the line is meant to be bought. The SDR series covers numbers, letters, and symbols, so an MRO or facilities group can set one marking convention and stock the matching rolls across every panel and enclosure instead of mixing labeling methods building to building. The RD legend roll, SDR-RD, is part of that same series for lettered designations.
7) Are the SDR rolls refills for an existing ScotchCode dispenser, or standalone?
They are refill rolls from 3M's ScotchCode SDR wire marker tape line, ordered one legend at a time by part number such as SDR-2 or SDR-8. Each roll holds a single repeating character, so you replace the legend you have run out of rather than the whole set.
