Resistors; parts of the resistors of heading no. 8533

HS v2017 Code: 853390

About resistors; parts of the resistors of heading no. 8533

hs code 853390 covers resistors and their component parts, which are essential electronic components used in a wide range of industries. Resistors play a crucial role in regulating and controlling the flow of electrical current, making them indispensable in the design and manufacturing of various electronic devices, from consumer electronics to industrial equipment. This industry's importance extends across the broader economy, as resistors are integral to the functioning of 851712 Telephone sets, 851762 Machines for the reception, conversion and transmission or regeneration of voice, images or other data, and numerous other electronic products.

Production process

The production of resistors typically involves a multi-step process. First, the resistive element, often made of carbon, metal, or a ceramic material, is formed into the desired shape and size. This resistive element is then encased in a protective housing, which may be made of plastic, ceramic, or other insulating materials. The final assembly process involves the addition of leads or terminals, which allow the resistor to be easily integrated into electronic circuits.

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 or ceramics. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as precision winding machines, are necessary to ensure the accurate and consistent production of resistors. The industry also relies on a skilled workforce capable of operating these specialized production processes.

Production outputs

The primary output of the resistor industry is, of course, resistors themselves, which are then consumed by a wide range of industries and applications. These include 851762 Machines for the reception, conversion and transmission or regeneration of voice, images or other data, 851712 Telephone sets, 853400 Printed circuits, and numerous other electronic devices and systems. The resistors produced under hs code 853390 are essential components that enable the proper functioning and control of electrical currents in these diverse applications.
