What is an Electrical Contact?

An Electrical Contact (CONTACT,ELECTRICAL) is an item consisting of an electrically conductive material designed to furnish a surface which will physically and electrically meet another conducting surface for the purpose of transferring electrical energy and/or opening and closing circuits. Includes moving contacts which make and/or slide over stationary contacts or other stationary conductive material to a resulting fixed position. Excludes items which are used in conjunction with continually moving surfaces or which make contact by gripping action of the contact surfaces. See also CLIP, ELECTRICAL; CLAMP, ELECTRICAL; BRUSH, ELECTRICAL CONTACT; PLUG, TIP; and JACK, TIP.

What is an Electrical Grounding Strip?

An Electrical Grounding Strip (STRIP,ELECTRICAL GROUNDING) is a rigid or semirigid item of electrically conductive material designed to provide a connection between the piece(s) of equipment and ground. Its primary purpose is to dissipate static charges. Excludes TERMINAL STRIP, GROUNDING; CONTACT STRIP, RADIO FREQUENCY GROUNDING; and PLATE, ELECTRICAL GROUNDING.

What is a Shorting Strip?

A Shorting Strip (STRIP,SHORTING) is an item specifically designed to facilitate the connection of two or more contacts or terminals within an electrical connector, on a terminal board, on a printed circuit board header or the like for the purpose of making them electrically common. Normally a solid item with holes to accommodate the contacts or terminals. Excludes DUMMY CONNECTOR, PLUG; DUMMY CONNECTOR, RECEPTACLE; LEAD, ELECTRICAL BUS, CONDUCTOR; and TERMINAL STRIP, GROUNDING. For items with studs or threaded holes to accommodate terminals or holes to accommodate wire for solder, or the like see TERMINAL BOARD. For items designed to carry heavy current see BUS, CONDUCTOR.

NATO Supply Class 5999 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 59, which is dedicated to Electrical And Electronic Equipment Components.

NATO Supply Class 5999 specifically focuses on Miscellaneous Electrical And Electronic Components. This class includes a wide range of components that are used in electrical and electronic equipment but do not fall into more specific categories within the group.

Some examples of components that fall under NATO Supply Class 5999 include:

1. Resistors: These are passive electrical components that limit the flow of electric current in a circuit.

2. Capacitors: These are devices that store electrical energy in an electric field.

3. Connectors: These are devices used to join electrical circuits together.

4. Switches: These are devices that control the flow of electric current in a circuit.

5. Relays: These are electrically operated switches that control the flow of current in one circuit by opening and closing contacts in another circuit.

6. Fuses: These are safety devices that protect electrical circuits from excessive current.

7. Circuit breakers: These are automatic switches that protect electrical circuits from overcurrent or short circuits.

8. Transformers: These are devices that transfer electrical energy between two or more circuits through electromagnetic induction.

9. Inductors: These are passive electrical components that store energy in a magnetic field.

10. Diodes: These are electronic components that allow current to flow in one direction while blocking it in the opposite direction.

These are just a few examples of the components that fall under NATO Supply Class 5999. The class encompasses a wide range of miscellaneous electrical and electronic components that are essential for the functioning of various electrical and electronic equipment.
