Overview
This HTS category, 8533.21.00.60, specifically covers fixed electrical resistors designed for a power handling capacity not exceeding 20 Watts and featuring more than two leads, commonly referred to as resistor networks. These components are characterized by their arrangement of multiple resistors integrated into a single package, often presented in a dual-in-line (DIP) configuration. The primary function of these devices is to provide precise voltage division, current limiting, or signal conditioning within electronic circuits.
The distinction between this category and its siblings lies in the physical packaging and the number of leads. While 8533.21.00.50 covers resistor networks with a single-in-line (SIP) configuration, this category is reserved for those with a dual-in-line (DIP) arrangement. The "Other" category at the same level (8533.21.00.70) would encompass fixed resistors meeting the power and lead count criteria but not fitting the specific SIP or DIP configurations.
As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 8533.21.00.60 relies heavily on identifying the dual-in-line packaging and confirming that the device functions as a fixed resistor network with a power handling capacity within the specified limit of 20 Watts. Examples include discrete resistor arrays used in microprocessors, memory modules, and other integrated circuit applications where space-saving and ease of soldering are paramount.
