8536.41.00 - For a voltage not exceeding 60 V

This HTS category, 8536.41.00, specifically covers relays designed for a voltage not exceeding 60 volts. Relays are electromagnetic switches that use a small electrical signal to control a larger electrical circuit. This classification is applied to relays where the operational voltage of the control or switching circuit is within this specified low-voltage range. Examples include relays used in automotive systems, low-voltage control panels, or various electronic devices where power levels are limited.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 8536.49.00, which covers "Other" relays. While both fall under the broader heading for relays, 8536.41.00 is narrowly defined by the voltage limitation of 60 volts. If a relay operates at a voltage above 60 volts but not exceeding 1,000 volts (the limit for the parent heading), it would be classified under 8536.49.00, as it does not meet the specific voltage criteria of this node.

Within this classification, further subdivisions exist to provide more granular detail. The subcategory 8536.41.00.05 is dedicated to automotive signaling flashers, which are a specific type of relay used in vehicles to control the blinking of turn signals. The existence of this specific subcategory highlights the importance of application and design within the low-voltage relay segment. The "Other" subcategory accommodates any remaining relays that fall under the 60-volt limit but are not specifically automotive signaling flashers.
