Linear Xenon Strobe Flashtube Element 55-0221-5

Technical Description

This aerospace-grade linear xenon flashtube element features an elongated cylindrical quartz envelope capped with dual miniature metal terminal contacts. Measured precisely against the parallel cotter pin baseline reference, the unit is engineered to fit within confined, aerodynamic aircraft wingtip trailing edge or tail position strobe housings. When paired with an external high-voltage power supply, it produces high-candela flashing light bursts optimized to maintain long-range fleet conspicuity during night operations. The assembly is ruggedized against high thermal shock, rapid internal gas ionization cycling, and relentless flight line structural vibrations.
