The EZ10B is spec'd for a minimum supply of 500V, but I found it will work if the supply is a solid 450V or higher. So measure the "450V" to see that its at least that voltage. 460V or 470V even better. R10 (the anode resistor) must be made smaller. Change it (from 560K) to 100K. The EZ10B has a 300V drop across it, whereas most dekatrons have a drop ~200V. Also it needs 1.5mA of current, as opposed to 350uA. If its not a solid 450V, make R8 (7.5K provided) smaller, to 6.8K, or make R7 (680K) larger. Do Not exceed 500V. The EZ10B likes it but the diodes and caps don't.
Here is data on this tube, from Dieter's sight: http://www.tube-tester.com/sites/nixie/datdekat/ez10b/ez10b.htm The tube's base has 10 outer pins, and three inner ones. The outer ones are all main cathodes. Tie those to the 'K' spot, and maybe one of them to 'NDX' (optional). The anode is the one inner pin that has an insulated oxide coating on it. The two remaining inner pins are the guides. Tie both together, and then to G1. Where did I get my socket to test this tube ? I didn't. I used the 'socket-pin' and 'heat shrink' trick. Only here using female pins butchered from a D-connector. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
