Sockets for mounting tubes

snipsnip · Sep 28, 2009

Hi Guys,

Sorry for the dumb question, but Im building a Pultec, and just cant find the PCB mount socets for tubes that allow easy changing in future (EC88's for this project).

Does anyone know where to find them (UK or Europe preferably), or can anyone tell me what they are commonly called, to help refine my search?

thanks a lot
Jake

Rapid electronics in the UK. They do 2 types of B9a, one with small pins & the other with large, most of the boards here need the small pinned variety.

Thanks for that Rob, I've been getting my sockets from evil bay for £1.50 per unit... but the pins don't fit the PCBs so I always end up doing some crazy things like extending the pins or cutting them down.

Next time I'll try rapid electronics...

Cheers
