About electrical resistors; fixed carbon resistors, composition or film types (including rheostats and potentiometers but excluding heating resistors)

hs code 853310 covers a critical component in the electronics industry - electrical resistors. These fixed carbon resistors, composition or film types, play a vital role in regulating and controlling the flow of electrical current within a wide range of electronic devices and systems. From consumer electronics to industrial automation, the products described by this code are essential building blocks that enable the proper functioning and protection of electronic circuits.

Production process

The production of electrical resistors under hs code 853310 typically involves a multi-step manufacturing process. First, the resistive element, often made of carbon or a resistive film, is formed and shaped to the desired specifications. This is then encased in a protective housing, which may be made of ceramic, plastic, or other insulating materials. The resistor is then fitted with terminals or leads to allow it to be easily integrated into an electronic circuit. Quality control and testing procedures are crucial to ensure the resistors meet strict performance and safety standards.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of electrical resistors under hs code 853310 include raw materials such as carbon, resistive films, and insulating housing materials. Specialized machinery and equipment, such as resistor forming and assembly machines, are also essential. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce capable of operating the production equipment and performing quality control checks.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by hs code 853310 is fixed carbon resistors, composition or film types, which are used in a wide range of electronic devices and systems. These resistors are often consumed by manufacturers of 854231 Printed circuits and 852990 Other parts and accessories suitable for use solely or principally with the apparatus of headings 8525 to 8528, as they are essential components in the production of various electronic products.
