Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If classified primarily as an electrical connector rather than PCA-specific
General connectors for electrical machinery fall under Chapter 85, not EDP machine parts.
If for parts of specific ADP machines like servers, not equally suitable across headings
If principally for one machine type (e.g., 8471), it shifts from 'equally suitable' category.
