Description

Whelen A490 T-14 Strobe Light Power Supply 14V Aircraft

This listing is for one legacy Whelen Engineering A490 T-14 aircraft strobe-light power supply rated for a 14-volt DC electrical system .

The original identification label lists the unit as a complete strobe-light power-supply module with an input rating of 14 VDC at 1.3 amps . It carries visible FAA-PMA / STC SA800-series markings , although the complete STC suffix is partially obscured by age and label wear.

The assembly includes its metal enclosure, attached interconnecting cable, wiring leads, connector, terminals, and mounting flanges. The housing has handwritten repair-shop markings stating “NOT ECON. REPAIR,” so this unit should not be represented as serviceable or ready for aircraft installation.

Whelen documentation describes A490-family power supplies as remote aircraft strobe units designed to operate a single strobe lighthead. Exact compatibility, wiring, and installation approval for this earlier T-14 configuration must be verified using the applicable aircraft maintenance records and approved technical data.
