Description: IN-18 (ИН-8) / IN-4 (ИН-4) Nixie Tube Socket(s) incl. blue floor lighting Please don't forget to visit the Nocrotec Shop for other versions of this socket! This offer includes one (or more, if you enter more than one in the quantity field) new IN-18/IN-4 Nixie tube socket kit(s) as shown here: = Scope of delivery (quantity is per item): 1 socket board14 tube contacts (pin receptacles)3 blue LEDs (Light intensity: 2000 mcd) (If you need more than 3 LEDs, for use with the IN-4 Nixie tubes please write me!) Applications of the socket This RSH31 Nixie tube socket with LED can be used for all tubes with RSH31 base. The Russian spelling of this base is “РШ31”. Here you see an example picture of the RSH31 base: The currently known Nixie tubes and Dekatrons with this base are: Nixie tube IN-18 (Russian spelling: ИН-18)Nixie tube IN-4 (Russian spelling: ИН-4)Nixie tubes IN-7, IN-7A and IN-7B (Russian spelling: ИН-7, ИН-7A, ИН-7Б)Dekatron tube A-201 (Polyatron) The socket provides the opportunity to apply one, two, three or four 3 mm LEDs under the tube to generate the very impressive floor lighting effect. without floor lighting with blue floor lighting Example of use! Remark: The Nixie clock case, the IN-18 Nixie tubes and colon tubes are not part of this offer! (You will find the colon tubes at my other offers!) Of course, other LEDs can be used instead of the supplied blue LEDs. 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. Example of use All contacts are first put on the connection pins of the tube: The tube is plugged into the drills of the board with the contacts and aligned at right angles to the board surface. The top side of the board is marked with “FRONT”. The marking “FRONT” is only valid fot IN-18 tubes. The standard alignment for IN-18 tubes is shown in the “Drawing of the assembled socket” below. The marking “FRONT” can be ignored for all other tubes. The tube contacts are then soldered carefully from the bottom side. Only a small amount of solder should be used, otherwise there is a risk that solder will flow into the inside of the contact. If necessary, the thin part of the contacts can be cut off. The Nixie tube is pulled out of the socket. If the LEDs should be used for the floor lighting, they are inserted into the socket from top and soldered from bottom side. The distance between LEDs and tube bottom should be kept small, as shown in the sketch below "Section drawing of the socket with IN-18 tube". The anode and cathode orientation of the LEDs can be freely chosen. You can use one, two, three or four LEDs. For a balanced glow in combination with IN-18 tubes I recommend 2 or 3 LEDs, at which if 3 LEDs are used, the front LED should not be assembled (see pictures). You never should use 4 LEDs in combination with a IN-18 tube! The following 4 pictures show the socket in all 4 variants: 1 LED (not recommended) 2 LEDs (recommended for IN-18 – standard intensity) 3 LEDs (for IN-18 tubes – very high intensity) 4 LEDs – very high intensity – do not use for IN-18 tubes! The completely assembled tube socket: The assembled tube socket with IN-8 and IN-4 Nixie tubes plugged in: Remark: The shown tubes are not part of this offer! Drawing of the assembled socket: Remarks: all dimensions in mm The drawing shows the standard alignment for IN-18 tubes, at which the tube front (pin 4) shows an angle of 32.5° to the mounting holes. IN-4 tubes and other tubes have to be aligned different, of course. The Drawing shows the 4 LED positions. Please note that for the IN-18 tube only 2 or 3 LEDs are recommended. The LED in front should not be used in combination with IN-18 tubes, because it blinds! This offer includes 3 LEDs (for the maximum quantity in use with IN-18 tubes. If you need more than 3 - for the use with IN-4 tubes - please write me!)
