To facilitate easy insertion of the flying leads into the PCB holes, it
helps enormously to trim the remaining flying leads with a pair of
scissors as shown below. Start at one of the leads at the back of
the tube.
Then, working around the tube, cut each sucessive lead approx
2mm shorter than the previous one. This will allow you to feed
each lead in in turn.
Now you can insert and solder in the tube. Its best to have the
tube approx 5mm from the PCB, so you are not soldering too close
to the glass-to-metal seal.
