NATO Supply Class 5955 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 59, which is dedicated to Electrical And Electronic Equipment Components.

Specifically, NATO Supply Class 5955 focuses on Oscillators And Piezoelectric Crystals.

Oscillators are electronic devices that generate repetitive electronic signals, typically in the form of a sine wave or a square wave. They are used in various applications such as communication systems, timing circuits, and frequency synthesis.

Piezoelectric crystals, on the other hand, are materials that generate an electric charge when subjected to mechanical stress or pressure. They are commonly used in electronic devices for their ability to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy and vice versa. Piezoelectric crystals find applications in sensors, transducers, and actuators.

In summary, NATO Supply Class 5955 encompasses the procurement and classification of oscillators and piezoelectric crystals, which are essential components in electrical and electronic equipment.
