I just got some pcbs back from fab that use the in12 footprint from the Russian Nixie library. The actual hole layout is pretty good. The hole size, however, is big enough to mount the pin from the Nixie inside the pcb hole. I suppose the intent is that you would solder the pin directly to the pcb. Do not do this! You will probably crack the glass envelope of the tube. I used some mounting pins that I found on ebay.
Yes, I am pretty sure that you can use the same pins that you would use for an IN-18. I would find them on ebay, however, the mill-max pins were pretty pricey when I looked at them. http://cgi.ebay.com/PINs-NIXIE-Tubes-IN-12-IN-18-IV-12-PCB-socket-24pcs-/390282042840?_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D4%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D119930747606131424#ht_1898wt_905 -Scott -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
