8541.49.10.50 - Other 🖩

HTS Code 8541.49.10.50 encompasses semiconductor diodes other than unmounted chips, dice, and wafers. This category applies to diodes that have undergone further processing, such as being mounted in housings, integrated into assemblies, or prepared for specific applications beyond their raw semiconductor form. The key differentiator from sibling category 8541.49.10.10 is the state of readiness for use or integration. While 8541.49.10.10 focuses on the fundamental semiconductor material before assembly, this category covers diodes that have moved beyond that stage.

These diodes are typically characterized by their electrical properties, designed to control the flow of current in one direction. They can include a wide range of diode types, such as rectifying diodes, Zener diodes, transient voltage suppression (TVS) diodes, and signal diodes, all presented in a finished or semi-finished state. The classification emphasizes the completed nature of the component, ready for incorporation into larger electronic circuits or systems, distinguishing them from the unworked semiconductor wafers.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories under 8541.49.10.50. Therefore, the focus for classification rests on the specific type and form of the diode presented, ensuring it is not a raw wafer but a processed component falling under the broad umbrella of "other diodes" that are not unmounted chips, dice, or wafers. Practical classification will often involve examining datasheets and product specifications to confirm the diode's function and construction.
