If the leads are short you can push them in. When I test tubes (so the leads are un-trimmed) I get them roughly seated by hand and then use needle nosed pliers to ensure a firm fit. I would recommend you buy a few to try them and you'll see what I mean.

[neonixie-l] Re: connector for Nixie tube with flexible pins
Paul - How much insertion force is required for the MillMax pins ? Do you have to use needle-nose pliers on each lead, or can you plug-in the tube ? What about removal ? I have a future VFD project with Soviet-era tubes that have leads, and havn't decided on solder vs socket.

For tubes with leads rather than pins I use Mill-Max 0665-0-15-15-30-27-10-0 https://www.digikey.com/short/pd7709hz On Wednesday, August 2, 2023 at 11:36:08 AM UTC-4 Benoit Tourret wrote: > Hello, > > I am searching for female pins where I could insert the flexible pins of a > nixie tube such as a IN-14 or a IN-8-1 without soldier them. > of course, this should working also with VFD tubes. > > the idea should for testing tubes, for prototyping or non permanent > purpose... > > Regards, > Benoit. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.

You can find them on Ebay (nixie socket pins). I use them on all my projects.
