Ionization Chamber Module for Smoke Detectors
This is the core detection component in ionization-type smoke detectors that uses a small amount of radioactive material to ionize air between two electrodes, detecting smoke particles by changes in current flow. It falls under HTS 9022.90.70.00 as a part specifically for ionization smoke detectors, which rely on ionizing radiation for operation. These modules are precision-engineered for residential and commercial fire safety systems.
