About electrical resistors; fixed, for a power handling capacity not exceeding 20w (including rheostats and potentiometers but excluding heating resistors and carbon resistors)

HS code 853321 covers a crucial component in the world of electronics and electrical engineering - fixed electrical resistors with a power handling capacity not exceeding 20W. These resistors play a vital role in regulating and controlling the flow of electrical current, making them an indispensable part of a wide range of electronic devices and systems. From consumer electronics to industrial automation, the demand for these resistors remains high, underscoring their importance in the broader economy.

Production process

The production of fixed electrical resistors under HS code 853321 typically involves a multi-step process. The core component is a resistive element, often made from materials like carbon, metal film, or wire-wound. This resistive element is then encased in a protective housing, which may be made of ceramic, plastic, or other insulating materials. The resistors are then subjected to precise calibration and testing to ensure they meet the required specifications for power handling, resistance value, and tolerance.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 853321 resistors include the raw materials for the resistive element (such as carbon, metal, or wire), the housing materials (ceramic, plastic, etc.), and specialized machinery for the manufacturing process. Additionally, the industry relies on advanced testing and measurement equipment to ensure the quality and consistency of the final products. Skilled labor, particularly in the areas of engineering, electronics, and precision manufacturing, is also a crucial input for this industry.
