Overview
Nixie Clock Base for 4 Tubes QS30-1 and SZ-8 Tubes Not Included 14.5 x 4 cm Acrylic Case RGB LED Remote Control

The nixie clock base is a ready-to-assemble kit for anyone who wants to build their own clock with real bulbs. The equipped control board has 4 sockets for large nixie tubes and is suitable for types QS30-1, SZ-8, SA3-1, ZM1020, Z560M and other compatible bulbs. Tubes are not included, allowing you to choose your own pieces according to taste and availability. The entire assembly measures only 14.5 x 4 cm and fits on a desk, shelf or in a display cabinet. Once the tubes are inserted and the transparent case is screwed together, it forms a compact desktop clock with a retro appearance.

The time is monitored by the real-time circuit DS3231M with a built-in crystal oscillator, ensuring accurate operation. For the tubes, there is a step-up module on the board from 5 V to 170 V and static digit drive via 74HC595 circuits, so the display shines steadily without flickering. Between the digits are small neon indicator lights that separate the hours and minutes. Under the board, there is colourful LED backlighting in seven colours, which illuminates the lower part of the tubes. On the board, you will find a button for setting and a spot for a backup battery that keeps time even after power disconnection.

  • Type – nixie clock base without tubes, kit
  • Number of Sockets – 4
  • Compatible Tubes – QS30-1, SZ-8, SA3-1, ZM1020, Z560M and other similar types
  • Board Dimensions – 14.5 x 4 cm
  • Real-Time Circuit – DS3231M with built-in crystal oscillator
  • Power Supply – 5 V via Micro USB connector
  • Power Consumption – 2 W

  • Function – display timeout feature
  • Backup Battery – space on the board, battery not included
  • Package Contents – equipped control board with 4 sockets, transparent acrylic case plates, spacers with screws and remote control (tubes not included)

Assembly is straightforward. Insert the chosen tubes into the sockets, screw the acrylic plates together using the spacers and connect the clock via a Micro USB cable to a charger or computer. Thanks to the low power consumption, the clock can shine all day, and if you do not need it at night, you can set the display timeout feature. The acrylic case only needs to be wiped occasionally with a dry soft cloth, keeping the board and tubes protected from dust. When handling the board under power, do not touch the high-voltage parts, and always insert and remove the tubes after disconnecting the power.

This base is suitable for collectors of old bulbs, DIY enthusiasts and electronics lovers who want to give old tubes a new life. The result is original desktop clocks with a warm orange glow of the digits and adjustable RGB backlighting, which will enliven a study, living room or gaming corner. The precise real-time circuit and 5 V power supply via Micro USB ensure convenient daily operation without complicated settings. The kit also makes an interesting gift for anyone who loves retro technology and hands-on projects. Just add four tubes and the clock is ready for use.
