ZIN70 Nixie Tube — Black Base, Z568M Round Pinout & Oversized 70 mm Digit
Inside the tall glass envelope, large cathode-shaped numerals form an impressive 70 mm glowing digit. With a 150 mm bulb height and 58 mm diameter, the ZIN70 delivers a dramatic neon display that is clearly visible across rooms, studios, lobbies and exhibition spaces.
The lamp is built from annealed glass and stainless-steel elements, hand-crafted in Ukraine. The black anodised base visually anchors the tube and pairs well with dark wood, metal and industrial-style enclosures, making it perfect for steampunk décor, retro electronics and luxury Nixie clocks.
This product is the tube only: it requires an appropriate high-voltage Nixie driver and power supply designed for Z568M-class tubes.
Technical Specifications
ZIN70 Nixie Tube — Handling & Integration Guide (Z568M Pinout)
• Always disconnect the high-voltage power supply before inserting or removing the tube.
• Hold the tube by its black aluminium base, not by the glass bulb.
• Carefully align the pins with your Z568M socket before pressing down; do not twist the glass envelope.
• Use only appropriate Z568M-compatible Nixie drivers, respecting recommended voltage and current values for large industrial Nixie tubes.
• Avoid mechanical shocks and sudden temperature changes; the annealed glass is strengthened but still fragile.
This tube does not include electronics, power supply or socket. For reference builds and driver boards, you can look at projects and clocks that support Z568M / ZIN70 tubes in the Nixie DIY community.
Design, Technology & Use Cases
Design & Materials
The ZIN70 uses a tall cylindrical glass bulb combined with a black anodised aluminium base. Oversized digits, large diameter and dark base make it ideal for bold, industrial and steampunk-inspired designs.
Technology & Z568M Compatibility
The tube operates as a cold-cathode neon display with shaped metal cathodes for each digit. This version is built with a round Z568M-compatible pinout only, so it can be plugged into standard Z568M sockets and driver boards designed for classic giant Nixie tubes.
Applications
Ideal for oversized Nixie clocks, art installations, reception-area clocks, themed bars, sci-fi lighting and high-end steampunk décor. The enormous digit height and industrial styling create a strong focal point in any space.
Care & Handling
Handle by the base, never by the glass. Clean gently with a dry microfiber cloth only; do not use liquids or abrasive cleaners. When designing an enclosure, provide enough clearance for the full 150 mm height and 58 mm diameter, plus airflow around the tube.
