About electrical resistors; fixed, for a power handling capacity exceeding 20w (including rheostats and potentiometers but excluding heating resistors and carbon resistors)

hs code 853329 covers a range of electrical resistors that are used in a variety of electronic and electrical applications. These resistors play a crucial role in regulating and controlling the flow of electrical current, making them an essential component in many industries, including consumer electronics, industrial automation, and telecommunications. The global demand for these resistors continues to grow as the reliance on electronic devices and systems increases across various sectors of the economy.

Production process

The production of electrical resistors under hs code 853329 typically involves a multi-step process. The main components, such as the resistive element, terminals, and housing, are manufactured separately and then assembled into the final product. The resistive element is often made from materials like metal alloys or carbon compounds, which are carefully selected and processed to achieve the desired resistance value and power handling capacity. The terminals are then attached to the resistive element, and the entire assembly is encased in a protective housing, which may be made of ceramic, plastic, or other insulating materials.

Production inputs

The key inputs required for the production of electrical resistors under hs code 853329 include raw materials such as metal alloys, carbon compounds, and insulating materials. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as winding machines, termination tools, and testing equipment, are necessary for the manufacturing process. Skilled labor, including engineers, technicians, and production workers, is also a critical input for this industry.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the industry covered by hs code 853329 are fixed electrical resistors with a power handling capacity exceeding 20W. These resistors are used in a wide range of applications, including power supplies, motor controls, and industrial automation systems. The outputs of this industry may be consumed by other industries that require precise control and regulation of electrical currents, such as 853340 Electrical resistors, variable, including rheostats and potentiometers, 853390 Electrical resistors, n.e.c. in heading 8533, and 854370 Electrical machines and apparatus, having individual functions, n.e.c. in this chapter.
