What is an Electrical Solenoid?

An Electrical Solenoid (SOLENOID,ELECTRICAL) is an item consisting of one or more coils surrounding an iron core. The coil(s) and the core are moveable in relation to each other. The axial or rotary movement is a result of the magnetic flux of the coil. It is designed to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. It does not include switch contacts. See also RELAY, ELECTROMAGNETIC, and ELECTROMAGNETIC ACTUATOR.

What is a Relay Assembly?

A Relay Assembly is two or more RELAYS (as modified) having a common mounting or mounted on each other. If item contains electronic components see ELECTRONIC COMPONENT ASSEMBLY. Excludes AMPLIFIER-RELAY ASSEMBLY; RELAY ASSEMBLY GROUP; and RELAY-SWITCH.

What is a Thermal Relay?

A Thermal Relay (RELAY,THERMAL) is a relay switch which is actuated by the effect of internal heat generated by the current in its energizing circuit. For items actuated by ambient, rather than internal temperature changes, see SWITCH, THERMOSTATIC.

What is a Solenoid Assembly?

A Solenoid Assembly is two or more SOLENOID, ELECTRICAL on a common mounting or mounted on each other.

What is a Hybrid Relay?

A Hybrid Relay (RELAY,HYBRID) is a self-contained device that performs the function of opening or closing an electrical circuit in response to electrical changes in an external circuit. It consists of a combination of semiconductor and passive circuit devices, which in turn control an integral electro-magnetic relay. Excludes relays which employ diodes, rectifiers or other passive devices to achieve contact protection or coil modification. Excludes RELAY, SOLID STATE.

What is a Solid State Relay?

A Solid State Relay (RELAY,SOLID STATE) is a self-contained device that performs the function of opening or closing an electrical circuit in response to electrical changes in an external circuit. In lieu of separable contacts and their actuator(s), the switching function is accomplished by means of an arrangement of semiconductors and passive circuit devices. The device is designed to have electrical isolation between control circuit and output circuit. Excludes RELAY, HYBRID.

What is an Electromagnetic Relay?

An Electromagnetic Relay (RELAY,ELECTROMAGNETIC) is a relay which is actuated by the effect of a magnetic field developed by the current in its energizing coil(s). Includes solenoid and armature types. Excludes CONTACTOR, MAGNETIC; RELAY, METER MOVEMENT; RELAY, MOTOR DRIVEN; RELAY, REED; RELAY, RESONANT REED; RELAY, ROTARY; and SWITCH, STEPPING.

What is a Mounting Plate?

A Mounting Plate (PLATE,MOUNTING) is a metallic or nonmetallic item which is rigid, flat and generally smooth. Its thickness is small in comparison to its length and width. It is designed for mounting another item and may have drilled or threaded holes or other facilities for mounting to a supporting object or surface. See SUPPORT, as modified. Do not use if a more specific name applies.

NATO Supply Class 5945 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 59, which is dedicated to Electrical And Electronic Equipment Components.

Specifically, NATO Supply Class 5945 focuses on Relays And Solenoids. Relays are electrical switches that use an electromagnet to control the flow of current in a circuit. They are commonly used to control high-power devices or to switch between different circuits. Solenoids, on the other hand, are devices that convert electrical energy into mechanical motion. They typically consist of a coil of wire wrapped around a metal core and are used in various applications such as valves, locks, and actuators.

In the context of NATO supply classification, Class 5945 includes a wide range of relays and solenoids that are used in military and defense equipment. These components are essential for the proper functioning of electrical and electronic systems in various military applications, including communication systems, radar systems, weapon systems, and more.

The classification system helps in standardizing the identification and procurement of these components across NATO member countries. It ensures that the right components are available for military operations and facilitates interoperability among different nations.

If you need more specific information about a particular relay or solenoid within NATO Supply Class 5945, please provide more details, and I'll be happy to assist you further.
