Nixie Tube Sockets.
Now you can solder the 6 Nixie sockets that you assembled in step
4.1. Push each socket assembly into the PCB so that the flat is
aligned as shown below. There is only one way the socket can be
inserted, so it should be impossible to orient incorrectly. be sure to
push the socket fully in, so that the larger diemater portion of the
socket receptacles goes into each hole. The plastic socket should
be 2-3mm from the PCB.
After soldering all 66 contacts, clip off the lower, very thin part of
the connector.
