To be honest, I don't understand the timing values from datasheets either. I would just assume that if the DC current of IN-4 is 2,5-3mA, and IN-8 - 2,5-3,5mA, then in 6 digit multiplex 5mA in pulse on each of them wouldn't hurt them at all - that is still 1/3 of nominal power dissipation of a

Thanks everyone for the responses. I'm working on the IN-8 clock at the moment. I set the voltage to 200V. When i had the 22k resistors in, my current on one tube was 0.45mA, so multiplying that by six I only got 2.7mA. I put a 10k in and am getting about 0.88mA which gives me 5.28mA,

Thanks! I have the special IN-16, but I never looked close enough to notice that it really is a horizontal mesh nixie! The inverted types are very nice! I'll have to check the English eBay more often. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l"

As will I, I have some nixies, numitrons, VFDs, and some rare early HP 7 segment displays available as well. I am seeking a Pandicon and IN-17s. Terry On Tuesday, June 6, 2017 at 11:05:00 AM UTC-5, Alic wrote: > > Excellent idea! > I'll put together a trade list as well. -- You received this

OK you don't need to shout to be heard in this list. :) 1 - You can safely assume that "Pulse Voltage" is the one supplied by your Power Supply. It is higher than the one needed for non-multiplexed operation to guarantee a faster strike. 2 - Both modes A and B are safe from an operational

Thanks for the warning. Generally, I leave everything plugged-in 'forever', which is probably why I havn't had problems 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
