16920 - Textron OEM Dayton Grainger Static Wick Discharger
The 16920 static wick discharger, manufactured by Dayton-Granger, is an essential component used to manage static electricity on aircraft surfaces. This component helps in dissipating static charges accumulated during flight, thereby protecting sensitive onboard electronic equipment and reducing radio frequency interference (RFI).
Key Features:
- Static Discharge Capability: Designed to effectively manage static electricity, the 16920 static wick provides a controlled discharge with a resistance range of 6-200 MΩ. This feature ensures that static charges are safely dissipated, preventing buildup that could interfere with avionics and communication systems.
- Durable Construction: Constructed with an aluminum shank section and a resistive element encased in thermo-fit shrink tubing. This design not only ensures durability but also protects the discharger from environmental elements, including rain and temperature variations.
- Lightweight and Compact: The static wick is lightweight, weighing approximately 0.27 ounces, and measures 6-1/8 inches in length, making it easy to install on various aircraft components without significantly affecting the aircraft's aerodynamics or weight.
- Enhanced Protection: The product includes a StrikeGuard lightning protective coating, which helps redirect potential lightning strikes away from the aircraft structure, further safeguarding the aircraft's systems.
Specifications:
- Part Number: 16920
- Type: Null Plus Trailing Static Discharger
- Resistance: 6-200 MΩ
- Length: 6-1/8 inches
- Weight: 0.27 ounces

Applications:
The 16920 static wick discharger is compatible with a variety of aircraft, including:
- Textron Aviation's Cessna Citation series: This includes models such as the Citation CJ3, CJ4, and Citation X, among others. The static wick is mounted on the trailing edges of wings and other surfaces to ensure efficient static discharge during flight.
This static wick is crucial for maintaining the operational safety and performance of modern aircraft by preventing the accumulation of static electricity and protecting against interference with sensitive electronic equipment.
Dayton-Granger Static discharger
- Used on aircraft to allow satisfactory operation of onboard navigation and radio communication systems during precipitation (p-static) conditions.
- Also known as static wicks or static discharge wicks, installed on the trailing edges of aircraft, including (electrically grounded) ailerons, elevators, rudder, wing, horizontal and vertical stabilizer tips.
- High electrical resistance (6-200 megaohms) devices with a lower corona voltage than the surrounding aircraft structure. They control the corona discharge into the atmosphere, isolating noise and preventing it from interfering with aircraft communication equipment.
- NSN: 5920-01-252-4406
- Spec: MIL-9129D
- Aircraft Models: Applicable to all Cessna Citation Models
