Equivalent & Substitute Parts for Vicor VE-232-EU-F4 DC DC Converter

Part Overview

The Vicor Corporation VE-232-EU-F4 is a DC DC converter featuring a single 15V output at up to 13.33A, designed for input voltages from 42V to 60V and housed in a full brick through-hole package. This isolated module, part of the VE-200™ (200W) series, is now listed as obsolete. As it is no longer in active production, identifying direct substitutes with identical electrical, mechanical, and regulatory parameters is necessary to ensure maintenance of form, fit, and function within commercial ITE applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the Vicor VE-232-EU-F4 is determined strictly by matching core electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters. The following parameters must be equivalent to qualify as a substitute: input voltage range (42V-60V), output voltage (15V), output current (13.33A), output power (200W), voltage isolation (3 kV), module type, package dimensions (full brick, through hole), features (OCP, OTP, OVP, SCP), operating temperature range, efficiency, compliance (ROHS3, REACH). Only parts meeting all these criteria without deviation are included as valid substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Vicor VE-232-EU-F4 is classified as obsolete, while the substitute VE-232-CU-F4 is listed as active and carries the same regulatory and environmental compliance (ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8504.40.9580). Substitution is permitted based on identical input/output specifications, mechanical format, safety features, and certification status as presented in the input.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What criteria are used for finding a substitute for the Vicor VE-232-EU-F4 DC DC converter?
A1: The substitution is based solely on matching input voltage range, output voltage and current, power rating, isolation voltage, features, package type and dimensions, environmental operating range, and compliance certifications.

Q2: Are there differences in electrical performance between VE-232-EU-F4 and VE-232-CU-F4?
A2: Both models share identical input and output parameters, features, and mechanical characteristics. The provided input specifies a difference in efficiency and operating temperature range, both within or exceeding the original requirements.

Q3: Is the package and form factor consistent between the parts?
A3: Both parts are constructed in the full brick through-hole format with identical dimensions (4.60" L x 1.86" W x 1.05" H).

Q4: Are there any differences in RoHS or REACH compliance between the substitute and the main part?
A4: Both parts are listed as ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected.

Q5: Why is substitution necessary for this product?
A5: The main part VE-232-EU-F4 is classified as obsolete. Substitution with a currently active part having identical key specifications ensures continuity in production and maintenance without deviation from original design criteria.
