IN14 have some original plastic spacer that you can buy easily.

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
Hi Pierre, did you see any light at all from the tube? You may be
OK.see Paolo's astute observation from his email.
Do you have a multimeter? Have you checked that you have 170V DC (or
thereabouts) coming from the little power supply?
Note, that the IN-1 tubes have a notoriously short
Hi Nick,
Thank you for your quick reply.
Is that mean I destroyed the cathodes while testing the tubes?

Not only you need the 10k resistor, but you need to ground a cathode. In
ASCII drawing:
+HV - 10k -[Anode || Desired Cathode] GND
In your picture it looks reversed, whch is good since you didn't put the
resistor.

I would be very careful letting your kids play with Nixies. I'm not saying
don't let them but find low energy power supplies to run them.
You will need 200 volts or more from a switching power supply. Do not use a
transformer or line voltages.
It would be safer to let them try 7 segment LED
Pierre, you'll need a resistor in line with the anode otherwise you'll fry the
cathode. Try 10K or so to test the tube. Do you know that you have 170V on the
output of the supply? That tube looks like an IN-1.
Welcome aboard!

Hi,
I'm a kind of geek dad of geek kids (Legos, Minecraft, Scratch, Arduino,
you know it). One of my sons bought nixie months ago but wasn't able to
make them work. So I'm basically here to learn what's going on. I don't
have lot of skills in electronic, but will try to help if I can.
