scope:

This standard establishes a list of Electrical, Electronic, and Electromechanical (EEE) Parts for use in the selection, procurement, and application for flight and mission-essential ground support equipment. The list is limited to the following Federal Stock Classes:

Part Types FSC * Capacitors 5910 * Circuit Breakers 5925 * Connectors 5935 * Crystals and Crystal Oscillators 5955 * Diodes 5961 * Fiber Optics 60GP (FSG) * Filters 5915 * Fuses 5920 * Inductors 5950 * Microcircuits 5962 * Relays 5945 * Resistors 5905 * Thermistors 5905 * Transformers 5950 * Transistors 5961 * Wire and cable 6145

The purpose of this standard is as follows:

a. To provide equipment designers and manufacturers with a list of electronic parts having two quality levels considered to be most acceptable for flight and mission-essential ground support equipment.

b. To control and minimize the variety of electronic part types used by government activities in order to maximize economic support of, concentrate improvement on, and facilitate effective logistic support of the electronic parts listed in this standard.

Two levels of quality are used in this standard. Grade 2 parts are high quality, government specification controlled parts for use in applications not requiring Grade 1 parts. Grade 1 parts are higher quality, government specification controlled parts intended for critical applications.
