I use some milk-max sockets. Contrary to what others have said, I find that the tube leads are stiff enough to be pushed in to these when cut short. You still have to make your own PCB though. Here is an example <https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/xD4cGoKd>. The MillMax part number is on the second image. It is fair to say though that if your concern is replacing bad tubes, then just using a separate board for the tubes should be sufficient.
For the ZM1000, I think the turned socket strips, like this one, would be a good solution - these might work for the other tubes too. https://www.ebay.com/itm/8-WAY-SOCKET-STRIP-TURNED-PIN-TAICOM-QTY-10-/124448142756?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292 On Wednesday, March 3, 2021 at 1:51:50 AM UTC-5 MrThe50sanchez wrote: > > Hello everyone ! > > what kind of Nixie tube sockets do you recommend? > > I'm using IN-16 / IN-14 and ZM1000 nixie tubes for my clocks, and I'm > wondering if you can recommend me any kind of sockets to avoid soldering > the nixie tubes to the PCB, I would love to have a quick release for the > tube's in case of mal function. > > Thanks a lot!! > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
