Receptacle
A receptacle, also known as an electrical outlet, socket, or wall plug, is a point of connection to the electrical grid. It provides access to electrical power for various devices.
Material:
- Plastic: Typically used for the body of the receptacle, providing insulation and structural support. Common plastics include nylon, PVC, and polycarbonate.
- Metal: Brass or steel are commonly used for internal contacts and mounting hardware, ensuring good conductivity and durability.
- Wiring: Copper wire is used for internal connections and external leads.
Purpose:
The primary purpose of a receptacle is to safely and conveniently provide electrical power to electrical devices. They facilitate the use of portable appliances and equipment without requiring direct wiring.
Function:
Receptacles function by establishing a conductive pathway between the electrical grid and the plug of a device. They typically contain slots for the hot, neutral, and ground wires (though some may only have two). When a plug is inserted, it completes the circuit, allowing electricity to flow.
Usage Scenarios:
- Residential: Powering lamps, televisions, computers, small appliances, and charging electronic devices.
- Commercial: Supplying power to office equipment, machinery, and lighting systems.
- Industrial: Providing power to heavy-duty equipment, tools, and manufacturing processes.
- Outdoor: Used with weather-resistant covers to power outdoor lighting, tools, and equipment.
Common Types:
- NEMA 5-15R: The standard 120V, 15A receptacle found in most North American homes. Features two vertical slots and a rounded ground pin.
- NEMA 5-20R: A 120V, 20A receptacle, often used for appliances requiring higher current. Has one vertical slot shaped like a "T".
- NEMA 6-15R: A 250V, 15A receptacle commonly used for window air conditioners or other 250V appliances.
- GFCI Receptacle (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter): Contains a test and reset button and protects against electrical shock by quickly interrupting the circuit when a ground fault is detected. Commonly used in bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor locations.
- USB Receptacles: Combine a standard electrical outlet with one or more USB ports for charging electronic devices.
- Tamper-Resistant Receptacles (TRRs): Designed with internal shutters to prevent objects from being inserted, enhancing safety, particularly in homes with children.
- Twist-Lock Receptacles: Used in industrial settings to provide a secure connection that won't easily disconnect.
Based on the provided reference material, the following HS codes are relevant to “receptacle”:
- 8536694020: Electrical apparatus for switching or protecting electrical circuits, or for making connections to or in electrical circuits (for example, switches, relays, fuses, surge suppressors, plugs, sockets, lamp-holders and other connectors, junction boxes), for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V; Lamp-holders, plugs and sockets: Other: Coaxial connectors; cylindrical multicontact connectors; rack and panel connectors; printed circuit connectors; ribbon or flat cable connectors Cylindrical multicontact connectors. This code covers electrical receptacles designed for voltages up to 1,000V, specifically including cylindrical multicontact connectors.
- 8536694010: Electrical apparatus for switching or protecting electrical circuits, or for making connections to or in electrical circuits (for example, switches, fuses, lightning arresters, voltage limiters, surge suppressors, plugs and other connectors, junction boxes), for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V; Lamp-holders, plugs and sockets: Other: Coaxial connectors; cylindrical multicontact connectors; rack and panel connectors; printed circuit connectors; ribbon or flat cable connectors Coaxial connectors. This code also covers electrical receptacles for voltages up to 1,000V, focusing on coaxial connectors.
- 3926901000: Other articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914: Other: Buckets and pails. While not specifically “receptacles”, this code includes buckets and pails which can function as receptacles for various materials. The tariff rate is 3.4% basic tariff, 7.5% additional tariff, and 30% additional tariff after 2025.4.2, totaling 40.9%.
Regarding HS code 8536694020 and 8536694010, please note that these codes apply to electrical receptacles with a voltage not exceeding 1,000V.
