8536 69 90: Diğer fiş ve prizler (≤1000 V): Gerilimi 1000 voltu geçmeyen elektrik devrelerinin: diğerleri

In addition to the apparatus described in the HS Explanatory Note to heading 8536, this heading includes:

1. distribution frames for telephone exchanges;

2. intersection or junction plates for overhead tram cables;

3. junction plates for electric motors;

4. commutators for multiple point transformers;

5. connecting parts for accumulator elements;

6. so-called inductive proximity switches, i.e., electronic switches incorporating a free-radiating induction coil for the contactless actuation (closure) of the switch when a metal object comes within the stray field of the induction coil. Such switches are used, for example, in machine tools, conveyor machinery and weighing balances instead of mechanically operated electrical terminal switches;

7. on-off switches housed alongside an intensity modulation device (dimmer) in a single housing. By means of this equipment, it is possible not only to switch mains-operated lamps on and off, but also to vary their intensity continuously;

8. so-called contact pads for connecting electrical circuits. These consist of two superposed resilient films of plastics in which are embedded, at regular intervals, a large number of electrically conductive contact points of silicone rubber. These contact pads are incorporated, for example, under the keys of telephone sets. Each time a key is pressed the appropriate contact points on the two films touch, and electrical contact is established;

9. electronic switches which operate by contactless means, using semiconductor components (for example, transistors, thyristors, integrated circuits).

However, this heading does not include:

(a) insulation and sheathing for electric lines (generally, heading 7326);

(b) control equipment for railways and other communication routes (heading 8530).

These subheadings include electromechanical plugs (so-called male type connectors) and sockets (so-called female type connectors) which permit connection, for example, between appliances, cables and connector boards.

The connectors may have a plug or socket on both sides or a plug or socket on one side and another contact device on the other (for example, crimp, clamp, soldered or screw-type) see the examples in figures 1 and 2.

Figure 1:

On one side the cable is connected to the connector by means of a crimp/clamp connection. On the other side the connection is made by plugging the male-type/female type connector.

Figure 2:

On one side, the cable is connected to the connector by means of a crimp/clamp connection. On the other side, the connection is made by plugging the female-type connector. In addition, this connector is also fitted with an additional connection in the form of a male-type connector.

These subheadings also include plug-in couplings comprising a plug and socket pair (two pieces). The plug and the socket pieces each have one socket and one other contact device.

These subheadings do not include connection or contact elements with which an electrical connection is solely established by other means (for example, crimp, screw-type, soldered or clamp terminals). These are covered by subheading 8536 90 (see the examples in figures 3 to 7).

However plugs and sockets, threaded internally or externally, are included.

Figures 3 and 4:

On one side the cable is connected to the connector by means of a crimp/clamp connection. On the other side the connection is made by using a screw or a bolt and nut.

Figures 5, 6 and 7:

The electrical connection is not made by plugging. There is no male or female type connector present. The electrical connection is made by screwing or clamping.
