Equivalent & Substitute Parts for Vicor QPI-8LZ

Part Overview

The Vicor QPI-8LZ is an IC HOT SWAP EMI FILTER from the Picor® QuietPower® series, categorized as an input EMI filter for use with DC DC converters. Its original configuration includes 16LGA packaging and a product status of "Obsolete." Because the QPI-8LZ is no longer in production, it is necessary for engineers to identify equivalent or substitute models to maintain system functionality and compliance, particularly for applications requiring EMI filtering in DC power systems.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts are grouped strictly based on matching the following allowed parameters: manufacturer, series, accessory type, application (for use with DC DC converters), RoHS compliance, moisture sensitivity level, REACH status, ECCN, and HTSUS. Since the QPI-8LZ is obsolete, only substitutes sharing these parameters and remaining active in inventory are considered equivalent for direct replacement in engineering applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selections should be based on product status (active substitutes should be preferred over obsolete versions), compliance with ROHS3 and REACH, and identical certifications such as ECCN and HTSUS. The QPI-21LZ matches all compliance and certification parameters required for a substitute of the QPI-8LZ in the same product category.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What criteria must be confirmed for substituting QPI-8LZ with QPI-21LZ?
A: Substitute selection is confirmed when manufacturer, series, accessory type, application compatibility, RoHS status, moisture sensitivity level, REACH status, ECCN, and HTSUS parameters are all identical.

Q: Is packaging considered in substitution between QPI-8LZ and QPI-21LZ?
A: Only packaging details provided in the input should be referenced; in this case, packaging differences are noted, but substitution does not depend on packaging unless explicitly specified.

Q: How does product status affect substitution?
A: An active status is necessary to ensure ongoing availability and support. The QPI-21LZ is active, making it suitable as a substitute for the obsolete QPI-8LZ.

Q: Is RoHS and REACH compliance identical for these substitution options?
A: Both QPI-8LZ and QPI-21LZ are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, ensuring regulatory requirements are maintained in substitutions.

Q: Are these substitutes compatible for use with DC DC converters?
A: Both parts are specifically categorized and described as suitable for use with DC DC converters based on the provided parameters.
