24C02 Serial EEPROM from China
The 24C02 is a 2Kbit (256 x 8) serial Electrically Erasable PROM integrated circuit with I2C interface from various manufacturers. While containing memory, its small capacity and general-purpose nature place it under HTS 8542.39.00 as 'other' ICs rather than dedicated memory. Used for configuration storage in embedded systems.
