RSH27 Nixie Tube Socket with LED
-
Insert the tube with the contacts into the drills of the board and align the tube right-angled to the board
surface. The top side of the board is marked with “FRONT”. As a standard you can align the front of the
tube in direction of the marking “FRONT”. You also can align the tube to you own requirements.
Therefore 12 solder pads are available at the board whereof only 11 are used. The standard alignment
for IN-8 tubes you can learn from the “Drawing of the assembled socket” below. The IN-2 tube you can
align to your own requirements in the board. The pin markings and the marking “FRONT” you can ignore
for IN-2 tubes.
-
Solder the contacts carefully from the bottom side. Don’t use too much solder, otherwise the solder may
flow into the inner side of the contacts. If you want, you can cut the thin part of the pins.
