About electrical capacitors
cpc code 47110 covers the production of electrical capacitors, which are essential components in a wide range of electronic devices and systems. Capacitors play a crucial role in regulating and storing electrical energy, making them indispensable in applications such as power supplies, filters, and timing circuits. This industry is a vital part of the broader electronics and electrical equipment manufacturing sector, contributing to the development and advancement of various technologies that underpin modern society.
Production process
The production of electrical capacitors typically involves a multi-step process. First, the dielectric material, which acts as the insulator between the two conductive plates, is prepared. This can involve processes like thin-film deposition or ceramic sintering. The conductive plates are then fabricated, often using metals like aluminum or tantalum. The dielectric material and conductive plates are then assembled, and the capacitor is encased in a protective housing. Finally, the capacitors undergo testing and quality control measures to ensure their performance and reliability.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of electrical capacitors include raw materials such as dielectric materials (e.g., ceramics, polymers, or thin-film coatings), conductive metals (e.g., aluminum, tantalum, or silver), and various other components like casings and terminals. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as thin-film deposition systems, sintering furnaces, and automated assembly lines, are essential for the manufacturing process. Skilled labor, including engineers, technicians, and production workers, is also a crucial input for this industry.
Production outputs
The primary output of the electrical capacitors industry (cpc code 47110) is, of course, a wide range of capacitor products, which are then consumed by various other industries and applications. These include 26110 Electronic components, 26200 Computers and peripheral equipment, 27110 Electric motors, generators, and transformers, and 27120 Electricity distribution and control apparatus, among others. Capacitors are integral components in the production of these and many other electronic and electrical devices, making this industry a vital part of the broader supply chain.
