Eagle-and-KiCAD-Nixie-Libs

Eagle and KiCAD libraries for nixie tubes and useful components. Note that many are re-usable for other tubes as they use the same sockets and pin-outs - see nixies.us for links to more information.

To import the .mod files (footprints) in to KiCAD 7.x, click the down arrow next to the folder icon as below:
