Create Your Own Retro Nixie Tube Clock: DIY PCBA Kit for IN-12, IN-14, IN-18 Tubes – Compact 6-Bit PCB for Unique Handmade Clock Projects, No Tubes Included, Perfect Desk Accessory

Product Description

nixie6bitclock-1.jpgnixie6bitclock-1.jpg

Included in Package: One Set of 6-Bit Nixie Clock Motherboard Kit for IN-12 IN-14 IN-18 QS30-1 (without tubes)

Usage Recommendations: Since this item requires soldering of the Nixie tube or socket, assembling a shell, etc., buyers should possess some degree of practical skills and expertise. Insulation must be applied prior to DIY assembly as the motherboard is susceptible to damage from static electricity.

This board serves as the primary board for the universal Nixie tube clock. It consolidates all functionalities of the Nixie tube clock, including the boost module. By simply adding a board to the Nixie tube, a complete 6-bit digital Nixie tube clock can be constructed.

Utilize the remote control for time adjustments or to toggle the device. It also features an external infrared probe and DC power interface for ease of making a housing.

The clock incorporates the DS3231M, which has a built-in crystal and precise timing capabilities.

The boost mechanism employs the MAX1771 high-efficiency configuration, with low heat (inductive contact can be maintained for extended periods).

Comprised of a microcontroller, STC15W408AS, featuring an anti-cathode poisoning program, delayed shutdown, timing switch, and additional functionalities.

The compact size measures approximately 120.65x32x14mm/4.75×1.26×0.55Inch, facilitating integration into a smaller DIY enclosure.

Operates with a 9V or 12V, 500MA or higher power adapter; the interface is DC5.5*2.1.

NOTE: Due to the necessity of installing the Nixie tube or socket, creating an enclosure, etc., buyers must possess a certain degree of practical skills and expertise. (tubes not included). Proper insulation should be ensured before DIY assembly, as the motherboard is prone to damage from static electricity. This is compatible with IN-1 IN-12 IN-14 IN-18 QS30-1 Vacuum Tubes by default.
Advice: The battery utilized in the remote control is a CR2025 3V, and the battery within the integrated PCBA is a CR1220 3V (ensures time continuity even during power outages). The battery assembly is not accessible or replaceable by the consumer.
This board serves as the core of the universal Nixie tube clock, amalgamating all functions of the Nixie tube clock, including the boost module. Simply adding a board to the Nixie tube allows the creation of a complete 6-digit digital Nixie tube clock.
The clock operates with the DS3231M, featuring a built-in crystal for precise timing. The boost section incorporates the MAX1771 high-efficiency design, producing low heat (inductive touch can be maintained for prolonged periods). It employs a single-chip microcontroller STC15W408AS, equipped with anti-cathode poisoning functionality, delayed shutdown, timing switch operation, and several other features.
Time adjustments or machine activation can be accomplished via remote control, along with an external infrared probe and DC power interface, making it easy for users to fabricate an enclosure. Utilization of a 9V or 12V power adapter with a minimum of 500MA is required, where the interface measures DC5.5*2.1; its compact size of approximately 4.75×1.26×0.55 Inches simplifies fitting into a smaller DIY housing.
