Additional Information for Electron Tubes and Associated Hardware
NATO Supply Class 5960 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 59, which is dedicated to Electrical And Electronic Equipment Components.
Specifically, NATO Supply Class 5960 focuses on Electron Tubes And Associated Hardware. Electron tubes, also known as vacuum tubes or valve tubes, are electronic components that control the flow of electric current in a vacuum. They are used in a variety of applications, including amplification, rectification, and switching.
Associated hardware refers to the additional components and accessories that are used in conjunction with electron tubes. This can include items such as sockets, bases, connectors, mounting hardware, and other related parts.
The purpose of NATO Supply Class 5960 is to provide a standardized classification system for electron tubes and associated hardware, making it easier for NATO member countries to identify, procure, and maintain these components for their electrical and electronic equipment.
By organizing these items into a specific supply class, NATO ensures that member countries have a common understanding and terminology when it comes to electron tubes and associated hardware. This facilitates efficient communication, procurement, and logistics within the NATO alliance.
It's important to note that this classification system is specific to NATO member countries and is used primarily for military and defense-related purposes.

Supply Items Included in Federal Supply Class 5960
- What is an Electron Tube? 19072 Items
- An Electron Tube is an inclosure, including two or more electrodes, in which a flow of electrons may occur through a vacuum or a contained gas. The electronic conduction takes place either by means of electrons emitted from a cathode or by ionization of the contained gas. Includes phototubes (photoemissive type only), Geiger-Mueller tubes, traveling wave tubes, cathode ray tubes and microwave tubes (Klystron, magnetron, or the like). Excludes items whose primary purpose is to produce light energy. Also excludes PHOTOELECTRIC CELL; and SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE (as modified).
- What is a Cathode Ray Tube Visor? 172 Items
- A Cathode Ray Tube Visor (VISOR,CATHODE RAY TUBE) is an item specifically designed to be attached around the face of a cathode ray tube to exclude light, thereby aiding visibility of the image.
- What is an Electron Tube Case? 30 Items
- An Electron Tube Case (CASE,ELECTRON TUBE) is a case specifically designed to hold one or more electron tubes. For cases specifically designed to inclose magnetic items, such as magnetron type electron tubes, for shipping and storage, see CASE, SHIPPING AND STORAGE, MAGNETICALLY SHIELDED.
- What is an Electron Tube Coupler? 37 Items
- An Electron Tube Coupler (COUPLER,ELECTRON TUBE) is a coupler specifically designed to be inserted between an electron tube, such as a magnetron, and another item, such as a transmission line.
- What is an Electron Tube Shield? 1318 Items
- An Electron Tube Shield (SHIELD,ELECTRON TUBE) is an item specifically designed to be placed partially or completely around an electron tube for the purpose of shielding against electrical or mechanical interference or physical damage. May include mounting facilities. See also COVER (as modified); HOUSING (as modified) and VISOR (as modified).
- What is a Cathode Ray Tube Ion Trap? 16 Items
- A Cathode Ray Tube Ion Trap (ION TRAP,CATHODE RAY TUBE) is a magnetic or electromagnetic device designed to be attached to the outer surface of a cathode ray tube for the specific purpose of preventing the negatively charged ions from reaching the luminescent cathode ray tube screen. It is used as a preventative measure against ion screen discoloration.
- What is an Electron Tube Retainer? 1380 Items
- An Electron Tube Retainer (RETAINER,ELECTRON TUBE) is an item specifically designed to restrain the movement of an electron tube when the latter is mounted in another item, normally a tube socket. Includes clamps, clips, and similar restraining devices specifically designed for this function.
- What is a Multiple Electron Tube Shield? 34 Items
- A Multiple Electron Tube Shield (SHIELD,ELECTRON TUBE,MULTIPLE) is an item specifically designed to be placed over two or more ELECTRON TUBE for purpose of shielding against electrical and/or mechanical interferences. See also SHIELD, ELECTRON TUBE.
- What is a Matched Electron Tubes? 55 Items
- A Matched Electron Tubes (ELECTRON TUBES,MATCHED) is a grouping of two or more separate electron tubes which have been matched together for a given characteristic such as transconductance. The matched values must be equal or within a specified tolerance. Includes only those tubes designed and specifically tested to provide a desired function. Excludes transistors, semiconductor devices and electron tubes which may be of an identical type but do not meet the above requirements.
- What is an Electron Tube Shield Insert? 138 Items
- An Electron Tube Shield Insert (INSERT,ELECTRON TUBE SHIELD) is a metallic item specifically designed to be inserted into a SHIELD, ELECTRON TUBE and to contact the electron tube envelope for the purpose of dissipating heat by conduction to the tube shield.
