Relays are essential components in electrical systems, but understanding how they work can feel overwhelming. With this simple guide, we’ll break down the basics of relay wiring using a helpful diagram to explain how they function, the role of their pins, and how to connect them to your setup. Understanding Relay Wiring: A Step-by-Step Guide […]
Triplex and Quadplex brake cable is now available at Del City. This complementary product to our existing offering has the same properties as our Duplex brake cable and features either three-conductor or four-conductor, PVC jacketed primary wires, laid in parallel. Primarily used for electric brake systems on trucks, buses, and trailers, adding more conductor options […]
So much of our world runs on electricity. What would we do without it? The types of electrical wire vary based on what the end application is. In our world at Del City, it’s all about automotive electrical wire. However, there are many types of electrical wire that fall into the realm of automotive electrical […]
Whether you are fixing your air conditioning, connecting new LED lights, or wiring a relay, you are probably working with a resistor. Resistors can be found in almost every electrical circuit, but they are often built-in to other components. So what do these hidden resistors really do? And why are they so important to the […]
What is primary wire after all? Often times when working on electrical builds, you’ll hear “primary wire” or “GPT wire” thrown around quite a bit. So, why is that?i Primary wire is one of the most common types of wire to use in electrical builds – specifically in automotive or DC applications.
Sometimes a cable tie is more than just a cable tie. We are so excited to introduce a brand new innovation in cable ties – the Self-Cutting Cable Tie. Traditional ties require the use of a cutting tool to remove the excess material after installation, usually leaving a jagged edge that can cut hands or […]
Vehicle LED lighting is becoming more and more popular, but making the upgrade requires more than just a light swap. To start taking advantage of the safer and more cost-effective LED lighting alternative to incandescent lighting, you’ll need to make sure you have a LED Load Resistor to ensure proper illumination and flash rate of LED tail […]
Learning how to wire a toggle switch is simple. Using a toggle switch to actuate an electrical application is very common. You are able to hook up anywhere from 1 to 4 different accessories, depending on the configuration of your switch. Here we will wire a SPST (single pull, double throw) and a DPDT (double […]
Proper lighting on vehicles contributes to safety on and off the road. To maximize safety and meet customer demand, Del City continues to expand its offering of ECCO® lighting, leading manufacturer of reversing safety products and amber warning lights.
Primary wire is primary wire, right? Not exactly true. There are different “grades” of primary wire, based on temperature ratings (voltage ratings are typically the same at 50V DC). Buy the wrong type, you could wind up melting the jacket and causing a short or electrical fire. Not good at all. So let’s go over […]
