Classification of connector terminals

The so-called “terminal” actually does not have a very clear definition. In most cases, it refers to a metal “connector” installed or assembled at the end of various circuit connection devices to connect the circuit. It conforms to the description of item 85.36 “III. Circuit connection device” in the “Tariff Notes”. It is usually a simple metal part, including simple ring terminals and multi-hole Plug Terminals. In terms of connection methods, there are many forms such as plug-in, clip-on, crimp, and welded.

Modular patch panels for communications:

This type of product is mainly composed of information modules, cable auxiliary brackets, overall frames, etc.; the ports are divided into 24/36/48, etc., and the interface type is RJ45; its function is to connect the cable to the information module in the modular patch panel, and the front end adopts a modular jack method to insert the copper cable jumper into the information module, thereby connecting the copper cable and the cable, and connecting the communication channel. This type of product adopts a modular jack method to insert the copper cable jumper into the information module to connect the communication channel, so its connection method is also plug-in, and its essence is also similar to a terminal block, which belongs to the connector under item 8536.901 of the “Tax Schedule”. Depending on the working voltage, it can be classified into 8536.9011/8536.9019 respectively.

Ring connector terminals :This is a connector that connects wires and cables to electrical equipment. Although it also has an electrical connection function, the connection method is not plug-in. One end can be inserted into the wire, and the other end can be wrapped around the wire for connection. Therefore, it belongs to the “non-connector terminal” and is classified as 8536.9090.00 regardless of whether the voltage exceeds 36 volts.
