Electrical capacitors; fixed, aluminium electrolytic

HS v2022 Code: 853222

About electrical capacitors; fixed, aluminium electrolytic

HS code 853222 covers fixed, aluminium electrolytic capacitors, which are essential components in a wide range of electronic devices and circuits. These capacitors play a crucial role in regulating and stabilizing electrical currents, making them indispensable in the manufacturing of consumer electronics, industrial equipment, and telecommunications infrastructure. As the global demand for advanced electronics continues to grow, the importance of this industry within the broader economy is expected to remain significant.

Production process

The production of fixed, aluminium electrolytic capacitors involves a multi-step process. First, the aluminium foil is etched to increase its surface area, which enhances the capacitor's ability to store electrical charge. The foil is then coated with a dielectric material, typically an oxide layer, which acts as an insulator between the two conductive plates of the capacitor. The coated foil is then rolled or stacked, and the assembly is sealed within a protective casing, often made of aluminium or other durable materials.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of fixed, aluminium electrolytic capacitors include high-purity aluminium foil, dielectric materials (such as aluminium oxide), conductive materials for the terminals, and various chemicals and solvents used in the etching and coating processes. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as foil etching machines, winding or stacking machines, and sealing equipment, are essential for the manufacturing of these capacitors.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 853222 is fixed, aluminium electrolytic capacitors, which are widely used in a variety of electronic devices and circuits. These capacitors are often consumed by industries producing 851712 Telephones for cellular networks or for other wireless networks and 851762 Machines for the reception, conversion and transmission or regeneration of voice, images or other data, including switching and routing apparatus, as well as in the manufacturing of 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, and 854430 Ignition wiring sets and other wiring sets of a kind used in vehicles, aircraft or ships.
