NATO Supply Class 5940 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 59, which is dedicated to Electrical and Electronic Equipment Components.
NATO Supply Class 5940 specifically focuses on Lugs, Terminals, and Terminal Strips. These components are essential for electrical and electronic systems as they provide a secure and reliable connection between wires, cables, and other electrical conductors.
Lugs are typically metal connectors that are attached to the end of a wire or cable. They are designed to be easily connected to other components, such as terminals or terminal strips, to establish an electrical connection. Lugs come in various shapes and sizes to accommodate different wire gauges and connection requirements.
Terminals are similar to lugs but are usually designed to be mounted on a surface or a panel. They provide a point of connection for wires or cables and are commonly used in electrical distribution systems, control panels, and other applications where multiple connections need to be made.
Terminal strips, also known as terminal blocks or connector strips, are devices that provide a convenient way to connect multiple wires or cables together. They typically consist of a plastic or metal base with multiple screw terminals or spring-loaded clamps. Terminal strips are commonly used in electrical panels, control cabinets, and industrial equipment to organize and secure electrical connections.
In summary, NATO Supply Class 5940 encompasses lugs, terminals, and terminal strips, which are crucial components in electrical and electronic systems. These components ensure reliable and secure connections, making them essential for various applications in the field of electrical and electronic equipment components.
Includes Binding Posts; Battery Clips; Stud Terminals; Test Clips.

It may have a separate tubular shaped piece of nonmetallic, flexible material designed to be slipped over the crimped first piece to seal the conductor joint through heat sealing.
- What is a Battery Terminal Adapter? 33 Items
- A Battery Terminal Adapter (ADAPTER,BATTERY TERMINAL) is an adapter constructed to accommodate electrically and physically a cable lug to a battery terminal whose physical design will not normally warrant their connection.
- What is a Radio Frequency Cable Adapter? 16 Items
- A Radio Frequency Cable Adapter (ADAPTER,RADIO FREQUENCY CABLE) is an adapter specifically designed to electrically connect two or more radio frequency cables, such as a CABLE ASSEMBLY, RADIO FREQUENCY or CABLE ASSEMBLY, RADIO FREQUENCY, BRANCHED; or one radio frequency cable and a PRINTED WIRING BOARD. It does not include cable(s) or items that provide mating facilities for joining to an electrical connector(s). For items designed to mate with another electrical connector(s), see ADAPTER (2), CONNECTOR and CONNECTOR (as modified). Excludes ADAPTER, WAVEGUIDE and FERRULE, METALLIC SHIELDED CABLE, GROUNDING.
- What is a Terminal Board? 250 Items
- A Terminal Board is an item consisting of insulating material, which is specifically designed to have fastened thereon, or on which are fastened terminal(s), such as screws, solder lugs, solder studs, solderless connectors, clips, and the like. It is usually used for junctions or terminations of wire or cable assemblies. It does not include items as defined above with parts, such as resistors and capacitors mounted thereon. Do not use if a more specific name exists, such as FUSEHOLDER; HOLDER, RESISTOR; FANNING STRIP; CONTACT ASSEMBLY, ELECTRICAL; JACK ASSEMBLY, TIP; CHAMBER, CABLE TERMINAL; PANEL (2) (as modified); CONNECTOR (as modified). Excludes TERMINAL, STUD; TERMINAL, FEEDTHRU, INSULATED; POST, BINDING, ELECTRICAL; and CHASSIS, ELECTRICAL-ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT. For items having printed electrical conductor paths, see PRINTED WIRING BOARD.
- What is a Terminal Box? 166 Items
- A Terminal Box is an enclosure which includes, mounts and protects one or more terminals and/or terminal boards. It is designed for and may include a cover and such accessories as mounting hardware, brackets, locks, and conduit fittings. For boxes which include combinations of different electrical devices such as terminals and/or terminal boards, fuseholders, switches, jacks, circuit breakers, connectors and the like, see DISTRIBUTION BOX.
