Nixie ·Nixie
NEC side-view cold-cathode symbol display tube showing units including ohms, milliseconds, microseconds, hertz, kilohertz, and megahertz. Its approximately 10 mm characters make it a specialized companion symbol indicator for numerical display equipment.
NEC side-view cold-cathode display-discharge tube showing unit symbols ω, ms, μs, hz, khz, mhz. It has an approximate 10 mm display height. The catalog gives a 170 V minimum anode supply and 1.5–2.7 mA cathode current for the main display. Termination/socket information is Wire-leaded. Symbol display tube; catalog notes it as a symbol-tube companion to the CD66(A)/CD74 family.
