RSH27 Nixie Tube Socket with LED
The currently known Nixie tubes and Dekatrons with this base are:
-
Nixie tube IN-8 (Russian spelling: ИН -8)
-
Nixie tube IN-2 (Russian spelling: ИН -2)
-
Dekatron tube A-107
-
Dekatron tube A-108
-
Dekatron tube A-109
Since the listed Dekatrons are seldom and unusual, this description does mainly concentrate at the Nixie
tubes.
The socket provides the opportunity to apply a 3 mm LED under the tube to generate the very impressive
floor lighting effect.

You can use other LEDs instead of the included one, of course.
You can use the tube contacts in your own PCB layout, too. The contacts will fit for all tubes with 1 mm
(0.04”) pin diameter.
The socket has a black coated surface. This is very expedient for the case mounting at a Nixie clock,
because the black surface looks neutral.
