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.
Includes Rectifying Tubes; Photoelectric Tubes; Electron Vibrator Tubes.
Excludes Transistors; Tube Sockets; X-ray Tubes; Semiconductor Devices and Associated Hardware.
Note-Mounting hardware, included in classes of this group, includes such specially designed items as brackets, holders, retainers, etc. Excluded from classes in this group are such hardware items as screws (Class 5305), bolts (Class 5306), studs (Class 5307), washers (Class 5310), rivets (Class 5320), and other common items indexed to specific classes, other than in Group 59. The FSC indexes and structure will govern the classification of items used on or with mounting hardware cited above.

Supply Items Included in Federal Supply Class 5960
- What is an Electron Tube? 479 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 an Electron Tube Shield? 15 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).
