NATO Supply Class 5910 is a classification for capacitors within NATO Supply Group 59, which is dedicated to electrical and electronic equipment components.

Capacitors are passive electronic components that store and release electrical energy. They are widely used in various electrical and electronic systems for a variety of purposes, such as energy storage, filtering, timing, and voltage regulation.

In the NATO supply classification system, Class 5910 specifically refers to capacitors. This class includes various types of capacitors, such as electrolytic capacitors, ceramic capacitors, film capacitors, tantalum capacitors, and others. Each type of capacitor has its own unique characteristics and applications.

Capacitors in this supply class are essential components in the construction and maintenance of electrical and electronic equipment used by NATO forces. They play a crucial role in ensuring the proper functioning and reliability of these systems.

When procuring capacitors or related components within NATO, it is important to refer to the NATO Supply Class 5910 to ensure the correct identification and classification of the required items. This classification system helps streamline the procurement process and ensures compatibility and interoperability among NATO member nations.
