NATO Supply Class 5980 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 59, which is dedicated to Electrical And Electronic Equipment Components.

Specifically, NATO Supply Class 5980 focuses on Optoelectronic Devices And Associated Hardware. Optoelectronic devices are electronic devices that can emit, detect, or control light. They combine the principles of optics and electronics to manipulate and control light for various applications.

Examples of optoelectronic devices that fall under this supply class include:

1. Lasers: Devices that emit coherent light through the process of stimulated emission. Lasers have a wide range of applications, including telecommunications, medical equipment, and scientific research.

2. Photodetectors: Devices that detect and convert light into electrical signals. Photodetectors are used in various applications such as optical communication systems, imaging devices, and light sensors.

3. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs): Semiconductor devices that emit light when an electric current passes through them. LEDs are commonly used in lighting applications, displays, and indicators.

4. Optical fibers: Thin, flexible strands of glass or plastic that can transmit light over long distances. Optical fibers are used in telecommunications, medical imaging, and data transmission.

Associated hardware refers to the components and accessories that are used in conjunction with optoelectronic devices. This can include connectors, lenses, filters, mounting brackets, and other supporting equipment.

NATO Supply Class 5980 plays a crucial role in ensuring the availability and standardization of optoelectronic devices and associated hardware for NATO member countries. It helps facilitate interoperability and compatibility among different military systems and equipment that rely on optoelectronic technology.

Supply Items Included in Federal Supply Class 5980 Supply Items Included in Federal Supply Class 5980

What is a Photo Semiconductor Device? 49 Items
A Photo Semiconductor Device (SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE,PHOTO) is a Semiconductor Device (1) which is responsive to visible or infrared radiant energy. May or may not include mounting hardware and/or heat sink. Excludes SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE (1), DIODE; SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE (1), THYRISTOR AND TRANSISTOR. For solid state devices which emit visible or infrared radiant energy, see LIGHT EMITTING DIODE.
What is a Light Emitting Diode? 189 Items
A Light Emitting Diode is a two electrode, solid state, optoelectronic device that emits visible or infrared radiant energy when electrically energized. May or may not include mounting hardware and/or heat sink. Excludes LAMP, CARTRIDGE; and LIGHT, INDICATOR. For solid state devices which are responsive to infrared or radiant energy, see SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE (1), PHOTO.
What is a Semiconductor Device Assembly? 11 Items
A Semiconductor Device Assembly is a grouping of two or more semiconducting devices such as LIGHT EMITTING DIODE; SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE, DIODE; SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE, PHOTO; SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE, THYRISTOR; and/or TRANSISTOR mounted on a common mounting or mounted on each other. The devices must be separable and each item must be capable of functioning in accordance with its given name. For assemblies consisting of semiconducting devices permanently cased, encapsulated, or potted together to form a single unit, see RECTIFIER, SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE, UNITIZED and SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES, UNITIZED. Excludes SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE SET; MICROCIRCUIT ASSEMBLY; and MICROCIRCUIT SET. See also ABSORBER, OVERVOLTAGE.
What is an Optoelectronic Display? 86 Items
An Optoelectronic Display (DISPLAY,OPTOELECTRONIC) is a component capable of displaying numeric, alphanumeric, symbolic, or graphic characters utilizing light emitting diode, plasma gas discharge, vacuum fluorescent, or liquid crystal display technology. For items designed to display information of a specific type, see INDICATOR, (as modified).
What is an Optoelectronic Switch? 18 Items
An Optoelectronic Switch (SWITCH,OPTOELECTRONIC) is a switch designed to perform the function of opening and/or closing one or more electrical circuits. In lieu of seperable contacts, the switching function is accomplished by means of an arrangement of one or more light emitters and one or more photosensitive devices. The item functions in response to changes in its own electrical circuit caused by the emitted light being reflected to the photosensitive device or the emitted light being interrupted before it reaches the photosensitive device. The item has no other form of actuation.
What is an Optoelectronic Coupler? 45 Items
An Optoelectronic Coupler (COUPLER,OPTOELECTRONIC) is a device containing one or more light sources (either incandescent, glow, or solid state, lamps) opticallycoupled to one or more semiconductor type photo-sensitive elements, all of which are contained in an opaque enclosure. Light generated within the device by the application of an appropriate electrical input to the light source(s) acts upon the light sensor(s) to produce a corresponding output or change in some electrical quantity or variation in some electrical property. For items in which the light in directed at another item and the reflected light is interpreted (read) see SCANNER, OPTICAL.
