Vishay P16SM Cermet Trimmer Potentiometer
A surface-mount cermet trimmer potentiometer for fine-tuning circuits in telecommunications equipment and automotive ECUs. Classified under HTS 8533.40.80.50 due to its cermet track providing excellent wear resistance and long-term stability in variable resistance applications.
Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If using different resistive material like carbon composition
Non-cermet variable resistors fall under the general 'other' subheading without cermet specification.
If imported as hybrid integrated circuits containing the cermet element
Cermet pots embedded in IC packages classify as electronic integrated circuits rather than discrete components.
If for inductors with integrated cermet trimming
Components combining inductance with variable resistance may shift to transformers and inductors heading.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide SMD package dimensions and pinout diagrams to distinguish from through-hole types during customs exam
• Declare power rating and temperature coefficient specs to support variable resistor classification
• Bundle with bill of materials (BOM) showing cermet usage in circuit applications
