Resistors; electric heating, other than those of heading no. 8545

HS v2022 Code: 851680

About resistors; electric heating, other than those of heading no. 8545

HS code 851680 covers a diverse range of electrical components known as resistors, as well as electric heating devices that are not classified under heading 8545. These products play a crucial role in the electronics and electrical engineering industries, enabling the control and regulation of electrical currents and providing heating solutions for a wide variety of applications. The global market for resistors and electric heating elements is expected to continue growing, driven by the increasing demand for electronic devices, the need for energy-efficient heating solutions, and the ongoing technological advancements in the sector.

Production process

The production of resistors and electric heating elements typically involves a combination of precision manufacturing techniques. Resistors are commonly fabricated by depositing a resistive material, such as carbon or metal alloys, onto a substrate, which is then encased in a protective housing. Electric heating elements, on the other hand, are often made by winding a resistive wire or ribbon around an insulating core, which is then enclosed in a suitable casing. These production processes require careful control of material composition, dimensional tolerances, and thermal properties to ensure the desired electrical and heating characteristics.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of resistors and electric heating elements include raw materials such as carbon, metal alloys, ceramics, and insulating materials. Specialized machinery and equipment, such as deposition systems, winding machines, and heat-treatment furnaces, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in electrical engineering, materials science, and precision manufacturing techniques.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 851680 are resistors and electric heating devices, which are used in a wide range of applications. Resistors are found in various electronic devices, including computers, telecommunications equipment, and industrial control systems, where they are used for current regulation, voltage division, and load balancing. Electric heating elements are used in a variety of heating appliances, such as space heaters, water heaters, and industrial furnaces. The outputs of this industry may be consumed by other HS codes, such as 851610 Electrical instantaneous or storage water heaters and immersion heaters, 851629 Electric space heating apparatus and electric soil heating apparatus, and 853710 Boards, panels, consoles, desks, cabinets and other bases, equipped with two or more apparatus of heading 8535 or 8536, for electric control or the distribution of electricity.
