HS v2017 Code: 851680

About resistors; electric heating, other than those of heading no. 8545

hs code 851680 covers a wide range of electrical components known as resistors, which are essential for regulating and controlling the flow of electric current in various electronic devices and circuits. These resistors play a crucial role in the functioning of numerous industries, from consumer electronics to industrial automation, making them a vital part of the broader electrical and electronics sector.

Production process

The production of resistors typically involves a multi-step process. First, the resistive material, such as carbon, metal, or ceramic, is prepared and formed into the desired shape, often using techniques like molding, extrusion, or thin-film deposition. The resistive element is then encased in a protective housing, which may be made of materials like plastic, ceramic, or metal, depending on the specific application and performance requirements. Finally, the resistors are tested, calibrated, and packaged for distribution.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of resistors include the raw materials for the resistive element, such as carbon, metal alloys, or ceramic compounds, as well as the materials for the protective housing, such as plastics, ceramics, or metals. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as molding machines, thin-film deposition systems, and testing equipment, are essential for the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The primary output of hs code 851680 is the resistors themselves, which are then consumed by a wide range of industries and applications, including 851650 Electronic resistors, 853710 Electrical switchgear and electrical apparatus for switching or protecting electrical circuits, 854430 Other electric conductors, for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V, and 903289 Automatic regulating or controlling instruments and apparatus, other than hydraulic or pneumatic. These resistors are crucial components in the production of various electronic devices, power supplies, and control systems.
