[neonixie-l] Re: Another simple Passive IR clock control alternative...

Good points... The circuit is intended to be installed internal to a housed device, but ESD definitely an issue prior to and during installation. Adding belt and suspenders can't hurt. And I'm sure we all work at a bench with a grounded mat, wrist strap and good bench hygiene...

[neonixie-l] Re: Another simple Passive IR clock control alternative...

Before you fab it, you might want to put some protection between gate & source to prevent ESD damage since this is a separate PCB and wont have the benefit of surrounding circuity until after it's connected. A large resistor (10meg) across C1 will keep C1 discharged. It's not entirely obvious,

[neonixie-l] Re: Why is there no "prefix" special symbol Nixie tube in the ZM102X / Z56X series?

Think about what the tubes were used for, back then. They often replaced an analog meter. When using equipment with different scales, or multipliers, it was up to the user to select the appropriate range for the measurement, then read the meter or tube display and "do the math" himself, to

Yes, maybe there was never a need for such a tube, so they never made one or at least we haven't seen one yet. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to

Yeah, probably you are right, Charles. But it is still quite remarkable I think. Jens On 10/4/2017 7:55 PM, Charles MacDonald wrote: On 17-10-04 04:37 PM, Tomasz Kowalczyk wrote: I think there are no known (to the internet) tubes in that series other than standard -,+,~ tubes. I don't know

Looking good to me in sim land... circuit meets my design objectives up to and beyond 12 VDC with loads above 3A. Caution: Watch out for heat with higher loads... Small pcb shown will not support the resulting dissipation with these high loads...

I think there are no known (to the internet) tubes in that series other than standard -,+,~ tubes. I don't know why no one decided to throw extra symbols in the existing tubes or nobody made an extra tube - perhaps the reason was that you needed to cover the bottom and top of symbols to

Oh come on, guys... ;-) I am looking for a prefix tube in the same tube envelope as the ZM1020. Cheers Jens On 10/4/2017 9:33 AM, Nick Sargeant wrote: http://www.tube-tester.com/sites/nixie/data/1970-0038NL-989/NL-989.htm * * *Nick Sargeant* niksgar...@gmail.com

Thanks Jeff I am trying to adjust everything for optimum performance and reliability before my tubes arrive. I have not soldered in the 270K resistors for the colon neon bulbs so wondering if a different value would work better or if these would be fine at 180VDC instead of the 170VDC that was

Ed, the pads on the Spectrum PCB for the colons already have a series resistor on board for the neon tubes.  The clock addresses each of the neons individually.  Jeff Original message From: Edward Van Belkom Date: 10/4/17 7:24 AM (GMT-06:00) To:

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: all my Nixie tubes are dying :(

A 2A power supply is definitely not needed. 0.008A (per Tube) x 130V x 6 (Tubes) = 6.24W 6.24W / 12V = 0.52A + power for the rest of the electronics, a 1A power supply fits best. I'm using this one (rated 12V 1.25A) https://www.pvelectronics.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info=10_id=161

Well great news. Dalibor is shipping my tubes today! I am getting close to having the clock base done and ready for sanding and anodizing. I have a sample at the anodizer now to see what grit sandpaper I need to sand the aluminum. The hard coat will fill in some so I need to see that it
