Parametric vacuum tube socket

For use with standard metal pegs from 2.54mm (1/10") inline sockets.


Specifiy diameter of the pin ring, diameter of pin holes, number of pins and height of socket.

Defaults are for IW-18 VFD tube.

Extract the socket pegs from the inline plastic and insert them into the printed socket, pushing down with a soldering iron heated to around 150°C (302ðF). I recommend solder wires to the socket pins before inserting them to avoid damaging the printed socket, although it is possible to solder the wires after insertion.
