EMI – Throwing the flag on Interference
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…
Keep Your Cool: Thermocouple Terminal Blocks Support Signal Integrity
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…
Wire Ferrules Make Solid Connections
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….

Down to Earth – Grounding Made Easy
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 BRIGHT IDEA ! – Using Colored Terminal Blocks Can Enhance Your Design
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…
