Dims for Novar & Compactron sockets?
« on: September 10, 2017, 05:52:55 pm »
Does anyone have the outer pin circumference & pin diameter for both the Novar and Compactron ceramic sockets sold on eBay? My in town suppliers are closed today and tomorrow pending the end of the world here in Florida.
So I don't waste 2 good snowdays, so I thought I'd draw up some libraries for the sockets, that is if tomorrow still is comming.. :-//

Finally had to order some and they arrived from China China China. No need for further assistance.

Well, the tubes themselves are here,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tube_socket#Summary_of_base_details
as for the sockets, you'd have to ask the manufacturer for a drawing.  The pin tails could be kinked inside or outside, alternating or straight, whatever width...

Nice thing about pin-base tubes is, if you can't find a socket, you can always make your own with solder-in socket pins in a PCB.  Not the best voltage rating, or least capacitance, but can be handy in a pinch, especially for oddballs like Nixies.
