Electrical capacitors; fixed, tantalum

HS v2022 Code: 853221

About electrical capacitors; fixed, tantalum

HS code 853221 covers the classification of fixed, tantalum electrical capacitors. These specialized electronic components play a crucial role in a wide range of electrical and electronic devices, from consumer electronics to industrial equipment. Tantalum capacitors are valued for their high capacitance, stability, and reliability, making them essential in applications where compact size and high performance are required.

Production process

The production of fixed, tantalum electrical capacitors involves a multi-step process. First, tantalum powder is pressed and sintered to form a porous anode. This anode is then anodized to form a thin dielectric layer of tantalum oxide. The capacitor is then assembled by encasing the anode and adding a cathode and electrolyte. Finally, the capacitor is encapsulated and tested to ensure it meets quality and performance standards.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of fixed, tantalum electrical capacitors include tantalum powder, which serves as the anode material, as well as other raw materials such as electrolytes, cathode materials, and encapsulation components. Specialized manufacturing equipment, such as presses, sintering furnaces, and assembly lines, are also essential inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 853221 is fixed, tantalum electrical capacitors. These capacitors are widely used in a variety of electronic devices and circuits, including 854231 Printed circuits, 852990 Parts suitable for use solely or principally with the apparatus of headings 85.25 to 85.28, and 853710 Boards, panels, consoles, desks, cabinets and other bases, equipped with two or more apparatus of heading 85.35 or 85.36, for electric control or the distribution of electricity.
