Step-up boost converter 3.3-5V to 170V 15mA for digitrons and Nixie tubes

Product detailed description

Compact step-up (boost) converter designed for powering Nixie tubes and digitrons from low voltage. The module converts an input voltage of 3.3–5 V DC to a high output voltage of 170 V DC and is particularly suitable for projects with microcontrollers, Nixie tube clocks, or decorative display applications where small size and simple integration are emphasized.

• Input voltage: 3.3–5 V DC
• Output voltage: 170 V DC
• Output current: max. 15 mA
• Control: EN pin (high level = ON, low level = OFF)
• Default state: ON (when EN pin is not connected)
• Maximum load: up to 6× Nixie tube IN-12 or IN-14
• Recommended load: long-term max. 4× Nixie tube
• Module dimensions: 10 × 19 mm
• Pin pitch: 2.54 mm

Package contents:

• Step-up boost converter 3.3–5 V / 170 V

Note:

• The product is not a standalone functional unit, it operates with high voltage up to 170 V DC and may require professional installation, appropriate insulation, and adherence to safety principles during handling.
