Electronics Accessories
The Google product category ID for Electronics Accessories is 2082. It sits under Electronics and has 18 subcategories of its own, so it is a predefined value you can send as it stands — but one of those 18 is usually the closer answer, and an interior category fits when a product genuinely spans the ones below.

Where this sits in the taxonomy
Measured by how much sits beneath them, Electronics Accessories is the largest of the 19 categories under Electronics, with 167 categories below it. Size is not correctness — a small category is the right answer when it is the right answer — but it does tell you how much of the taxonomy you are still choosing between once you pick this branch.
Electronics AccessoriesComputer AccessoriesHandheld Device AccessoriesE-Book Reader AccessoriesE-Book Reader Cases
The longest route down from here runs 4 more levels, ending at E-Book Reader Cases (4738) on level 6: Electronics Accessories › Computer Accessories › Handheld Device Accessories › E-Book Reader Accessories › E-Book Reader Cases. Most branches stop sooner than that — the figure to compare it against is the seven levels Google's taxonomy allows, not the depth of the branch next door.

Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (2082) or the full path ("Electronics > Electronics Accessories"). Both are predefined values for the same category. The ID is the sturdier of the two, because renaming any segment above this one changes the path text and leaves the number alone. Before sending it, check whether one of the 18 subcategories below fits — a narrower category groups the product with fewer, closer things.
Bear in mind that google_product_category is an optional attribute. Google assigns a category automatically, and your value is treated as a signal rather than an override. When an override actually applies.

Either row below is accepted. The first is the one to send.

This path has no comma, so an unquoted cell holds it as it stands — which is not true of every category in the taxonomy. The numeric ID, 2082, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.
What sits under Electronics Accessories
18 subcategories. A narrower category groups the product with fewer, closer things, so prefer one of these when it fits.
They are not the same size. Computer Components (285) is the largest with 69 categories beneath it, so most of what sits under Electronics Accessories sits under that one name. 12 of the 18 carry subcategories of their own and the remaining 6 are leaves, which is worth knowing before you go looking for a narrower value that is not there.

Questions about Electronics Accessories
What is the Google product category ID for Electronics Accessories?
2082. The full path, "Electronics > Electronics Accessories", is the same category written the other way. The ID is shorter, and renaming a segment above this one changes the path text while leaving the number alone.
Should I use Electronics Accessories or one of its subcategories?
Prefer a subcategory when one fits: Electronics Accessories has 18 directly below it, starting with Adapters (258), Antenna Accessories (5476), Antennas (1718), and 167 in total further down. 2082 is itself a predefined value, so an interior category is not an error — it just groups the product more broadly than a subcategory would.
Where does Electronics Accessories sit in the taxonomy?
At level 2, under Electronics (222). The chain from the top is Electronics → Electronics Accessories. If your product does not belong under Electronics, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Electronics Accessories is not quite right?
Look across the rest of Electronics first — there are 18 other categories at this level: Arcade Equipment (3356), Audio (223), Circuit Boards & Components (3702), Communications (262), Components (1801), Computers (278), and 12 more. If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Electronics (222) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How much more specific can I get than Electronics Accessories?
4 levels more. The longest route down from Electronics Accessories is Electronics Accessories > Computer Accessories > Handheld Device Accessories > E-Book Reader Accessories > E-Book Reader Cases, ending at E-Book Reader Cases (4738) on level 6. Not every branch below Electronics Accessories runs that far, so the category that fits your product may stop earlier than this one does.
How big is Electronics Accessories compared with the categories next to it?
It is the largest of the 19 at its level, carrying 167 categories below it. Inside it, Computer Components (285) is the biggest branch with 69 beneath it. A bigger category is not a better one — it just means more of the taxonomy is still open below you after you pick it.
