Electrical capacitors; variable or adjustable (pre-set) capacitors

HS v2022 Code: 853230

About electrical capacitors; variable or adjustable (pre-set) capacitors

HS code 853230 covers the classification of electrical capacitors, specifically those that are variable or adjustable (pre-set) in nature. Capacitors are essential electronic components that store and release electrical energy, playing a crucial role in a wide range of electronic devices and circuits. The capacitors described by this code are widely used in various industries, including telecommunications, consumer electronics, and industrial automation, making them an integral part of the broader electrical and electronics sector.

Production process

The production of variable or adjustable (pre-set) capacitors typically involves a multi-step process. First, the capacitor's basic structure, consisting of two conductive plates separated by a dielectric material, is assembled. The plates are then configured to allow for the adjustment or variation of the capacitance, often through the use of movable or adjustable components. This can be achieved through mechanical means, such as the use of a screw or slider, or through electronic controls. The assembled capacitor is then subjected to various testing and quality control measures to ensure its performance and reliability.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 853230 capacitors include conductive materials, such as metal foils or plates, dielectric materials, such as ceramics or polymers, and mechanical or electronic components for the adjustment mechanism. Additionally, specialized manufacturing equipment, such as precision assembly tools and testing instruments, are essential for the production of these capacitors.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 853230 is variable or adjustable (pre-set) electrical capacitors. These capacitors are widely used in a variety of electronic circuits and devices, including 854231 (Radio frequency (RF) or microwave amplifiers), 852990 Parts suitable for use solely or principally with the apparatus of headings 8525 to 8528, and 853400 Electrical apparatus for switching or protecting electrical circuits, or for making connections to or in electrical circuits, among others.
