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

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 value time to market and on time delivery and are tired of hearing questions like: How long has this project been on the floor? What’s taking so long? What’s the bottleneck?,,, It may be time to look at the manufacturing operations performed in your facility and to see where it may make sense to automate.American Electrical, Inc. (AEI) sells machinery and equipment that can help you speed up those operations that may be... More
It doesn’t cost much more to move from standard hand tools to Pneumatic tools - they’re priced just a bit higher than hand tools but make sense when it comes to helping the techs that work with you! Hand tools are plain and simple - stressful on your hands and can cause permanent nerve damage if certain movements are done repetitiously for a long time period. No one wants that - right? Then why not... More

Insulated Wire Ferrules have so many different colors available, sometimes it’s confusing to navigate. There are three color codes that have been developed since the early 1970’s. The three codes available today are: DIN, W and T. In some cases, they have the same colors for the same wire sizes but in others, they are vastly different. Wire Ferrules are specified by the wire size being used, the color code and the barrel length. We... More
