20 Pieces 

Please note: you will need a 330K Ohm 1/4 W resistor for each Neon for UK Mains 240Vac operation 

THESE ARE NOT INCLUDED!!

(100K Ohm for US 110Vac use)

These offer a powerful and durable option for signalling the availability of power in many commonly used electrical components.

This miniature lamp provides a long working life of 20,000 hours and high levels of brightness, thanks to its neon gas-filled glass casing. It has external wires that can be directly connected to equipment when used with a suitable limiting resistor in series with one leg.

The value of a limiting resistor for a neon bulb depends on the bulb’s size, current ratings, and desired brightness. A typical resistor value for a neon bulb is:
  • 120 VAC mains: 50–220 kilohms (kΩ)
  • 220 VAC: Twice the value for 120 VAC mains
  • The resistor’s power rating is usually ¼ watt or less. 

The 3rd photograph shows the neon bulb connected to 240Vac with a 220K Ohm resistor connected in series to one leg.

The body of the lamp is 4 mm in diameter and it emits a vivid, amber light. It has a current rating of 250 μA.

A neon indicator lamp such as this one is widely used in electrical components. Thanks to its long life and low power consumption, it’s useful for long-term monitoring of mains voltage in a variety of industries.

Here are some other things to know about neon bulbs:

They have a long lifespan of 20,000 hours. 

They are rugged and can withstand vibration, mechanical shock, and frequent on/off operation. 

They can operate in a wide temperature range of -40°C to +150°C. 

They are non-polarized DC devices with two symmetrical electrodes.

The life expectancy of a neon lamp increases as the operating current decreases.

A neon bulb typically consumes 3.5–4 watts per foot. 

PLEASE NOTE!

These came to us as part of a lot of surplus stock from a large electronic component distribution Co. and have been kept in storage for a time, they are however pristine, stored with us still in their original packaging, the photographs are representative of their excellent condition, being of some of our actual stock, and, as with all our products they come with a full guarantee. 

If you have similar items to this, or indeed any electronic components that are surplus to requirements please contact us with details.
