HS v2017 Code: 853224

About electrical capacitors; fixed, ceramic dielectric, multilayer

hs code 853224 covers the classification of electrical capacitors with a fixed, ceramic dielectric and a multilayer construction. These capacitors are essential components in a wide range of electronic devices and circuits, playing a crucial role in the functioning of modern electronics. They are widely used in various industries, including telecommunications, consumer electronics, industrial automation, and renewable energy systems, making them an integral part of the global economy.

Production process

The production of electrical capacitors under hs code 853224 typically involves a multi-step process. First, thin layers of ceramic dielectric material, such as barium titanate or strontium titanate, are deposited and stacked. Electrodes, usually made of metallic materials like silver or palladium, are then added between the ceramic layers. The stacked structure is then sintered at high temperatures to fuse the layers together, creating a solid, multilayer ceramic capacitor. Finally, the capacitors are tested, sorted, and packaged for distribution.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of electrical capacitors under hs code 853224 include ceramic dielectric materials, metallic electrode materials, and specialized production equipment. Ceramic powders, such as barium titanate or strontium titanate, are the primary raw materials used in the manufacturing process. Additionally, conductive metals like silver or palladium are required for the electrodes. Sophisticated production machinery, including screen printing, stacking, and sintering equipment, is necessary to ensure the precise and consistent fabrication of these multilayer ceramic capacitors.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by hs code 853224 is fixed, ceramic dielectric, multilayer electrical capacitors. These capacitors are widely used in a variety of electronic devices and circuits, including 854231 Printed circuits, 852990 Electrical parts of machinery or apparatus, not specified or included elsewhere, and 854430 Electric conductors, for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V, with individual conductors of a diameter exceeding 0.51 mm. The capacitors produced under this code are essential components in power supplies, filtering circuits, and various other electronic applications, making them a crucial part of the broader electronics and electrical equipment industries.
