Product Description
The 55-0638-3 is a xenon-filled flashtube for aircraft anti-collision strobe light systems. This discharge tube generates high-intensity flashes that enhance aircraft conspicuity during flight operations. Installed in wingtip or tail strobe assemblies, it interfaces with strobe power supplies to produce the bright, synchronized pulses required for external visibility.
The flashtube should be replaced and tested per aircraft maintenance manual specifications, with power removed during service. Xenon gas ionization creates the characteristic strobe effect recognized by other aircraft and ground observers.
Please note: Product descriptions are provided for informational purposes. Always refer to your aircraft's Illustrated Parts Catalog (IPC) to verify part compatibility and specifications.
