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.
Includes Permanent Magnets and Magnetostriction Elements; Caps, Clips, and Contacts, Electrical.
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 5999
- What is an Electrical Contact? 130 Items
- 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 Clip? 51 Items
- An Electrical Clip (CLIP,ELECTRICAL) is a clip designed to electrically connect items and components. Its primary function is to make a quick and/or temporary electrical connection. Includes alligator and crocodile test clips, battery clips, contact clips, electron tube clips, resistor clips, or the like. For electron tube grid and plate cap clips with wire leads attached, see LEAD, ELECTRICAL. Excludes CLAMP, ELECTRICAL; CLIP, SPRING TENSION; and FUSEHOLDER (as modified).
- What is an Electrical Shield Plate? 11 Items
- An Electrical Shield Plate (PLATE,ELECTRICAL SHIELD) is a metallic or metallic coated item which is rigid or semirigid, flat, and generally smooth. Its thickness is small in comparison to both its length and width, and is designed to prevent or reduce stray electro-magnetic and/or electrostatic fields between components or items. It may be used as a mechanical guard. Excludes PLATE (as otherwise modified); SHIELD (as modified); and SPACER, PLATE.

- What is an Electrical-Electronic Component Mounting Pad? 23 Items
- An Electrical-Electronic Component Mounting Pad (MOUNTING PAD,ELECTRICAL-ELECTRONIC COMPONENT) is an item fabricated from electrically nonconductive material specifically designed to provide a support for mounting an electrical and/or an electronic component such as a semiconductor device, relay, or resistor into the next higher assembly. It isolates the component from the mounting surface of the next higher assembly, it may act as a strain relief to avoid damage to the component seal, and it may permit soldering of the component to the next higher assembly without damage. It includes holes, notches, or other provisions for physical alignment and spacing of electrical leads and/or other mounting facilities projecting from the component it mounts. It may also afford protection from shock or vibration. It may be either nonthermally conductive which protects the component from temperature changes in the next higher assembly or it may be thermally conductive which permits heat generated in the component to be drained out to a heat sink. For items whose function is electrical insulation only, see INSULATOR, (as modified). Excludes HOLDER, (as modified); RETAINER, (as modified), and SPACER, PLATE.
