Sometimes the simplest solutions make the biggest difference. Take the Klemsan Klever connector, for example. No complicated termination process. Just strip the wire to the specified length, lift the orange lever, insert the conductor, and close the lever. It electrically connects all the wires that are applied, in a quick, convenient way. Klever has a…
Your Control Panel Is Only as Good as Its Connections!
Think about it. You can design the most sophisticated control panel, use the best PLCs, drives, and circuit protection, but if your electrical connections aren’t reliable, none of that matters. And that’s where the little things make a BIG difference. Take the Klemsan PRD Series Push-In Terminal Blocks, available from American Electrical, Inc. Designed for…
Same Specifications. Different Manufacturer. Why Not?
You’ve been using the same terminal blocks, circuit breakers, fuse holders and industrial electrical components for years. They work. You’re comfortable with them. So why change? Maybe you don’t need to. But shouldn’t you at least know what your alternatives are? In our industry, brand loyalty is strong. Engineers specify what they know, purchasing departments…
The Right Components. The Right Solutions. The Right Partner.
When you’re designing equipment, building control panels, or integrating industrial systems, having the right electrical components is essential. But having the right supplier can make all the difference. At American Electrical, Inc., we focus on three key areas: 🔹 CONNECTION — Terminal blocks, DIN rail, contactors, disconnect switches, interface modules, relays, power supplies, and small…
Start Building a Wire Processing Solution 👇💡
What if your wire-processing requirements could be handled as one complete solution instead of sourcing equipment one machine at a time? That’s exactly what we’re helping OEMs and panel builders do at American Electrical, Inc. (AEI) with the assistance of GLW, our manufacturer. Our wire processing equipment family covers the critical steps from raw wire…
Relays: The Silent Workhorses of Industrial Automation
Some of the most important components in an industrial control panel are also the ones that receive the least attention. The relay is a perfect example. A relay doesn’t power the machine. It doesn’t run the PLC. It doesn’t display alarms or operator messages. Yet every day, it quietly switches loads, isolates control circuits, protects…
Facility Application: SW JB-9 Solid Wire Jumper Box
There’s a Better Way Than Wire Nuts ⚡ Do you need to add a circuit in the field? Want an easy way to solve that problem? Look no further: Bottom Line The SW JB-9 replaces: ❌ Wire nuts ❌ Messy splices ❌ Time-consuming installs With: ✔ Fast, consistent connections ✔ Clean layouts ✔ Easier maintenance…
Why OEMs Are Switching to Push-In Terminal Blocks
In panel building, time is everything. And one of the biggest time drains? Terminations. That’s why more builders are moving to Klemsan PRD push-in terminal blocks (UL94-V0). ⏱️ Faster Installs With traditional screw terminals: Insert wire Check to see if it’s in the clamp (for real) Tighten Check torque, pull on wire With push-in: ➡️…
Why AEI Chose Klemsan Wire Duct and Why Our Customers Are Switching
Wire Duct isn’t glamorous but it’s one of those components that quietly determines how clean, serviceable, and efficient an electrical panel really is. At American Electrical, Inc., (AEI) we’re picky about who we represent and what we stock. If it doesn’t save time, money, or headaches, it doesn’t make the cut. That’s exactly why we…
Precision and Productivity: The CS-100 Wire Stripper
Reliable electrical connections start with proper wire preparation. The CS-100 wire stripper from GLW is designed to deliver clean, consistent insulation stripping while protecting conductor integrity. Strip 28-8 AWG conductors with ease – you can set the stripping length as well as the pull back length – protecting wire stands until it’s time to terminate! …
