Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is determined strictly by compatibility of the following key electrical and mechanical parameters: input voltage range, output voltage, output current, power rating, isolation voltage, mounting type, package/case dimensions, application, feature set, and compliance/certification status. The substitute part VE-2N4-EV shares all specified critical parameters with VE-2N4-CV and meets the required standards for form, fit, and function within the same product series and base part number.

Key substitution parameters:

• Voltage - Input (Min/Max)
• Voltage - Output 1
• Current - Output (Max)
• Power (Watts)
• Voltage - Isolation
• Application
• Features
• Mounting Type
• Package / Case
• Size / Dimension
• RoHS & REACH Compliance

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Substitution of VE-2N4-CV with VE-2N4-EV is supported based on identical electrical characteristics and mechanical footprint, as defined by the shared key parameters. Both models meet ROHS3 and REACH compliance requirements and are classified under the same ECCN and HTSUS codes. VE-2N4-EV is active, making it suitable for continued sourcing and integration in existing designs where VE-2N4-CV was originally specified.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What makes VE-2N4-EV a substitute for VE-2N4-CV?
VE-2N4-EV matches the main part VE-2N4-CV in input voltage range, output voltage, output current, power rating, isolation voltage, mounting type, case size, and compliance status.

Q2: Does VE-2N4-EV fit into the same mechanical footprint as VE-2N4-CV?
