IRF540N N-Channel MOSFET Thyristor from Japan
The IRF540N is a high-voltage N-channel enhancement-mode thyristor used for switching and amplifying electronic signals in power supplies and motor controls. It falls under HTS 8541.30.0080 as a semiconductor thyristor, other than photosensitive devices, due to its silicon-based construction for high-speed switching applications. This device handles up to 100V and 33A, making it ideal for industrial electronics.

Import Tips
• Verify RoHS compliance and provide detailed datasheets confirming thyristor function to avoid reclassification as transistors under 8541.21
• Include manufacturer specs on voltage/current ratings in documentation to confirm 'other' thyristor status
• Watch for minimum packaging quantities; small lots may trigger undervaluation scrutiny by Customs
