In the Controls Industry, Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is a big deal. Control System cables and equipment running all over production facilities creates antennas, electric fields and cross communication. EMI can have a significant negative impact on control signals in various ways. EMI can introduce noise into control signals, leading to distortion. This distortion can alter the original signal's amplitude, frequency, or phase, causing the control system to receive incorrect or incomplete information. Control signals... More
American Electrical, Inc. (AEI) offers two versions of DIN Rail mounted thermocouple terminal blocks - Type J and Type K. The unique feature of the block is that a multimeter can be plugged into the top of the device, allowing the technician to read the process temperature directly (or inject an analog signal) while not having to remove the thermocouple connections! What a time saver! That's innovation! Do you have thermocouples in your system? Why... More
Wire ferrules are small tin plated, copper sleeves that are crimped onto the ends of stranded wires, providing several benefits in electrical connections. Here's why you should use them: Improved Connection Quality: When stranded wires are inserted directly into terminals or connectors, the strands can spread apart, leading to uneven contact and potential connection issues. Ferrules compress the strands together, ensuring a solid and uniform connection, which reduces the risk of loose connections or arcing.... More
Amazing - a 6mm THIN DIN Rail mounted RELAY? At American Electrical, Inc. (AEI) that's what we do all day - save you time, save you space and save you money ! Especially with these space saving relays by Klemsan. A 6mm, space saving package with FOUR different coil voltages - 12 and 24 VDC and 120 and 230 VAC. It also comes with a set of normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) contacts... More
Have you ever seen a design where there were multiple ground runs to an exposed busbar or groundbar in the bottom of the enclosure? Those green wires running all over the control panel making their way to the copper bar? Do you have a legacy system that makes similar runs and needs an upgrade?There’s a much better example for your grounding options - the Ground Terminal Block or Groundblock. A Groundblock takes your ground wire... More
Colored terminal blocks are used in electrical and electronic applications for a variety of practical reasons. Here are four key reasons to use colored terminal blocks: Improved Organization and Identification: Colored terminal blocks help in easily identifying different circuits, wires, or components. By using different colors for different functions or voltage levels, technicians and engineers can quickly distinguish between connections, reducing the risk of errors during installation, maintenance, or troubleshooting. Typically, red and black signify... More
Introducing the TS3CUT by American Electrical, Inc. (AEI). Never before has it been so easy and repeatable to make a quality 90 degree cut in Aluminum or Steel DIN Rail. The TS3CUT can cut 3 different types of DIN Rail - 35mm x 7.5mm (shallow), 35mm x 15mm (deep) and 15mm mini-DIN Rail. It is table mounted with 4 anchor bolts and comes with an integrated 1 meter measuring stick with a moveable “stopper” to... More
