Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If classified primarily as integrated circuit rather than photosensitive function
ICs where photosensitivity is secondary function go to general IC headings.
If with built-in control board for panel mounting
Boards equipped with photosensors become control panels under 8537.
If imported as part of automatic data processing unit
ADP machine parts including sensors classified with computer assemblies.
