Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute part selection for Vicor VE-B32-EU-F4 is strictly based on identical or matching key parameters: isolated module type, input voltage range (42V – 60V), output voltage (15V), output current capability (13.33A maximum), power rating (200 W), voltage isolation (3 kV), series, mounting type (Through Hole), mechanical package (Full Brick), and compliance standards. Protection features (OCP, OTP, OVP, SCP) and environmental compliance (ROHS3, REACH) must also align. All listed substitutes must satisfy these parameters.
