IN8-2
18 mm numeric tube manufactured by Melz
The IN8-2 is a clear glass numeric nixie tube. It was manufactured by Melz. The difference to the IN8 is that this tube has flying wires for connection and has an additional decimal point. This tube, along with IN8, is often used for nixie projects and is suitable for all medium sized projects. Its a perfect tube, since it is relative easy to find and has a true-form 5 instead of inverted 2

Similar tubes share electrical and mechanical specifications with this tube, but are not exact replicas.
