VE-2N1-CU Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The Vicor Corporation VE-2N1-CU is an isolated module DC-DC converter designed for commercial ITE applications. It features a single output of 12V at up to 16.67A and supports an input voltage range of 36V to 76V. The VE-2N1-CU provides a maximum output power of 200W, incorporates system protection features (OCP, OTP, OVP, SCP), and offers a high isolation voltage of 3 kV. This product, part of the VE-200™ (200W) series, has been designated as obsolete, necessitating the identification of alternative models to ensure continued system functionality and procurement consistency.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the VE-2N1-CU are identified strictly by matching essential electrical and mechanical parameters. Key parameters considered for substitution include voltage input range (36V–76V), output voltage (12V), output current (16.67A), output power (200W), isolation voltage (3 kV), module type, package form factor (Full Brick), mounting style (Through Hole), and system protection features (OCP, OTP, OVP, SCP). Only parts meeting all these criteria within the product category are considered valid substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

When selecting a substitute for the VE-2N1-CU, consider product status and compliance certifications as provided. The VE-2N1-CU is ROHS3 compliant but obsolete, whereas VI-2N1-EU is active and RoHS non-compliant. Ensure that the substitute meets required compliance needs within the intended application, as both share matching electrical and mechanical parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What key parameters must be matched when selecting a substitute for the VE-2N1-CU DC-DC converter?
A: Substitute modules must match voltage input range, output voltage, output current, maximum output power, isolation voltage, package type, mounting style, and integrated protection features.

Q: How does package compatibility affect substitution for the VE-2N1-CU?
A: The Full Brick package type and through-hole mounting must be retained to ensure mechanical compatibility and seamless system integration.

Q: Is RoHS compliance mandatory for the substitute module?
A: Use the provided RoHS status to assess compliance requirements for the application. VE-2N1-CU is ROHS3 compliant; VI-2N1-EU is RoHS non-compliant.

Q: Are there differences in operating temperature range that affect substitution?
A: The VE-2N1-CU operates from -25°C to 85°C; VI-2N1-EU covers -10°C to 85°C. Verify if the application requires the extended lower temperature range.

Q: How do product status differences impact the selection?
A: The VE-2N1-CU is obsolete, necessitating a substitute. VI-2N1-EU is active and matches all specified functional parameters, subject to compliance considerations.
