Introducing American Electrical, Inc.’s (AEI) line of DIN Rail Mounted Interface Modules. Available in D-Subminiature or IDC (flat cable) models and on the shelf and ready to ship in Richmond, VA. Easily terminate your individual I/O signals and run to and from your control... More
Introducing the MC-40L: an electro-pneumatic and automatic ferrule stripping and crimping machine! The MC-40L uses loose insulated wire ferrules for sizes 12, 10 and 8 AWG, up to 12mm long barrels. Those larger wire sizes can be tough on your hands and take a while to process - while this machine can do it consistently in 1.5 seconds! How would that affect your bottom line and manufacturing throughput? Immensely ! See the machine in action... More
American Electrical, Inc., (AEI) has 5, 10 ,15 and 20 position terminal blocks pre-engineered into a small junction box. Think of all the possibilities and time savings by buying this off the shelf - and, it's only ONE part number. The boxes come with 2 - M20 cable grips and locknuts to make your design waterproof and dustproof up to IP 68. What better way to add on a circuit, build prototypes, isolate circuits and... More
Barrier Strips are still being utilized in today's Electrical Systems, despite all the advancements in connection technology. We’re trying to understand why this is so in the face of a myriad of safety advances in DIN Rail mounted Terminal Blocks. Barrier strips may assist the technician who loves their wide shank quarter inch screwdriver but that’s about it. The safety concerns are real and should send a wave of caution to Electrical Design Engineers in... More
Why is my fuse shaped like this … and why are the ends not the same? That fuse is called a rejection fuse and “keyed” like this to fit into a device that will only support this style of fuse. In this case, a higher level of Interrupting Current - the maximum amount of fault current the fuse can withstand. These types of fuses are there to keep devices, systems and people safe. They are...

You heard that right! The thinnest breaker on the market - up to 3 poles - in normal, slow or fast trip curves, up to 60AMPS. This pretty much covers any low voltage application you may have for UL 1077 electrical designs. UL 1077 signifies Supplemental Circuit Protection - meaning the device can’t act as the on/off switch (operate the load). These devices are quite common in Industrial Electrical applications.The advantage we have with our... More
If you're using DIN Rail Mounted Terminal Blocks and other devices that require secure wiring, then you know about having the right Screwdriver to accomplish the job correctly. American Electrical, Inc., (AEI) sells insulated (1000V) and non-insulated ergonomic screwdrivers that were designed for use with European style Terminal Blocks and other related devices. They have a shape that fits in your hand comfortably, but also allows you to torque the terminals to the desired level. ... More
Imagine being able to land your control loop on one 6mm terminal block! Then think about the space savings that would add up in high I/O count systems! Introducing the AVK Series Double Deck Fused Disconnect Terminal Block by Klemsan – the space-saving, ultra-slim 6mm wide block with powerful functionality. This block allows you to combine AC (Hot and Neutral) or DC (POS and NEG) in a single unit, featuring a protective 5x20mm or 5x25mm... More
If you are using Metallic Cable Grips (or maybe even running conduit) and your environment allows for the use of Nylon Cable Grips then you are in for two huge benefits. One being that the weight of your system will drop dramatically and two, the cost will be significantly lower. Not only will your shipping costs (to and from your facility) improve but your material costs for those products should drop 50% - 75%! Why... More
If you are having a hard time finding a crimping tool for LARGE wire sizes 1/0 up to 300 MCM we have the solution for you! It's called the VICE 70150 - crimping wire ferrules of 70 - 150 mms or 1/0 - 300 MCM ! There are a few ways to accomplish this but none as easy and as cost effective as the American Electrical, Inc. (AEI) VICE Crimper. That’s right, it fits right... More
