About insulating fittings; of plastics, for electrical machines, of insulating material only (except minor assembly parts), excluding those of heading no. 8546
hs code 854720 covers a critical component in the electrical and electronics industry - insulating fittings made of plastic for electrical machines. These fittings play a vital role in ensuring the safe and efficient operation of various electrical equipment, from household appliances to industrial machinery. As the demand for reliable and energy-efficient electrical systems continues to grow, the importance of this industry segment within the broader economy cannot be overstated.
Production process
The production of insulating fittings under hs code 854720 typically involves the use of injection molding or compression molding techniques. In the injection molding process, plastic pellets are melted and injected into a mold, where they cool and solidify into the desired shape. Compression molding, on the other hand, involves placing a pre-measured amount of plastic material into a heated mold, which is then closed and pressurized to shape the fitting. Both methods allow for the mass production of consistent, high-quality insulating fittings that meet the stringent safety and performance requirements of the electrical industry.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of insulating fittings under hs code 854720 include thermoplastic resins, such as polypropylene, polyethylene, or nylon, as well as specialized additives and fillers to enhance the material's insulating properties and mechanical strength. Additionally, the industry relies on advanced molding equipment, including injection molding machines, molds, and associated tools and machinery. The availability of these raw materials and production technologies is crucial for the industry's ability to meet the growing demand for reliable and efficient electrical components.
Production outputs
The primary output of the industry covered by hs code 854720 is a wide range of insulating fittings, including cable glands, junction boxes, terminal blocks, and other specialized components used in electrical machines and equipment. These insulating fittings are essential for the 853610 Electrical switches for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V, 853620 Electrical connectors for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V, and 853690 Electrical apparatus for switching or protecting electrical circuits, or for making connections to or in electrical circuits, for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V, not elsewhere specified or included.
