Mullard Side-View Nixie Tube

ZM1080

Mullard horizontal view nixie with 13 mm. digits 0-9 (no decimal point is provided). It has a wire ended B13D base.

The primer cathode (kpr , pin 4) can be used to accelerate the ignition times of cathodes by taking it via an 18 MΩ resistor to a -180 V supply.
Cathode currents should be in the range 1.5 mA (for full coverage) to 3.5 mA (average). Peak current should not exceed 12 mA.
