Electrical apparatus; plugs and sockets, for a voltage not exceeding 1000 volts

HS v2022 Code: 853669

About electrical apparatus; plugs and sockets, for a voltage not exceeding 1000 volts

HS code 853669 covers a wide range of electrical apparatus, including plugs and sockets, designed for use at voltages not exceeding 1000 volts. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader electrical and electronics sector, providing the essential components that enable the safe and reliable distribution of power in a variety of applications, from residential and commercial buildings to industrial facilities and infrastructure projects.

Production process

The production of electrical apparatus under HS code 853669 typically involves a combination of metalworking, plastics processing, and assembly techniques. Manufacturers may use stamping, casting, or machining processes to create the metal components, such as the conductive pins and housings. Plastic components, including the insulating bodies and protective casings, are often produced through injection molding or extrusion. The final assembly process involves the precise fitting and integration of these various parts to ensure the proper functioning and safety of the finished product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of electrical apparatus under HS code 853669 include metals (such as copper, brass, or aluminum) for the conductive components, various types of plastics (e.g., thermoplastics or thermosets) for the insulating and protective parts, as well as specialized machinery and tools for the manufacturing processes. Manufacturers may also rely on electronic components, such as switches or indicators, to enhance the functionality of the finished products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 853669 are a diverse range of electrical plugs, sockets, and related apparatus designed for use at voltages not exceeding 1000 volts. These products are essential components in the broader 854420 Electrical conductors, for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 volts and 853610 Electrical apparatus; for switching or protecting electrical circuits, for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 volts industries, which in turn supply critical infrastructure and equipment for residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
