Electrical capacitors; fixed, ceramic dielectric, multilayer

HS code 853224 covers the classification of electrical capacitors with a fixed, ceramic dielectric and a multilayer construction. These capacitors are essential components in a wide range of electronic devices and circuits, playing a crucial role in the functioning of modern electronics across various industries. Their ability to store and release electrical energy makes them indispensable in applications such as power supplies, filtering circuits, and signal processing, contributing to the overall efficiency and performance of electronic systems.

The production of 853224 electrical capacitors; fixed, ceramic dielectric, multilayer involves a multi-step process. First, thin layers of ceramic dielectric material, such as barium titanate or other ceramic compounds, are stacked and interleaved with thin metal electrodes, typically made of silver or other conductive materials. These layers are then laminated and co-fired at high temperatures, fusing the ceramic and metal components into a single, compact structure. The resulting multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) is then trimmed, tested, and packaged for distribution.

The primary inputs required for the production of 853224 electrical capacitors; fixed, ceramic dielectric, multilayer include ceramic dielectric materials, conductive metal electrodes, and specialized manufacturing equipment. The ceramic dielectric materials, such as barium titanate, are sourced from mineral deposits or synthesized in chemical plants. The metal electrodes, typically made of silver or other conductive alloys, are produced through metal refining and processing. Additionally, the production process requires advanced machinery for layering, laminating, and firing the ceramic and metal components, as well as testing and packaging equipment.

The primary output of the 853224 electrical capacitors; fixed, ceramic dielectric, multilayer industry is, of course, the capacitors themselves. These components are widely used in a variety of electronic devices and circuits, including 8533 (Electrical resistors (including rheostats and potentiometers), other than heating resistors), 8534 Printed circuits, 8535 (Electrical apparatus for switching or protecting electrical circuits, or for making connections to or in electrical circuits (for example, switches, fuses, lightning arresters, voltage limiters, surge suppressors, plugs and other connectors, junction boxes), for a voltage exceeding 1,000 volts), and 8536 (Electrical apparatus for switching or protecting electrical circuits, or for making connections to or in electrical circuits (for example, switches, relays, fuses, surge suppressors, plugs, sockets, lamp-holders and other connectors, junction boxes), for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 volts; connectors for optical fibres, optical fibre bundles or cables), among others.
