Engineering Selection Recommendations

The main selection criterion is the product status. VI-20W-EX is obsolete, whereas VI-20W-EX-F1 is active. Both parts are RoHS non-compliant and REACH unaffected, maintaining identical compliance status. The through-hole, full brick package and mechanical dimensions must be reviewed for application fit due to slight variation in package width and height.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the key parameters when substituting a Vicor VI-20W-EX DC DC converter?
A1: The key parameters are voltage input range (10V–20V), output voltage (5.5V), maximum output current (13.64A), power rating (75W), isolation voltage (3 kV), features (OCP, OTP, OVP, SCP), operating temperature range (-10°C ~ 85°C), efficiency (88%), mounting type (through hole), package/case (full brick), and compliance information.

Q2: Are VI-20W-EX and VI-20W-EX-F1 compatible in electrical performance?
A2: VI-20W-EX and VI-20W-EX-F1 share the same electrical specifications: input and output voltage, current, power, isolation voltage, features, efficiency, and series.

Q3: Do the package sizes for VI-20W-EX and VI-20W-EX-F1 differ?
A3: Yes, VI-20W-EX measures 4.60" x 2.40" x 0.50", and VI-20W-EX-F1 measures 4.60" x 1.86" x 0.79". Review mechanical fit before substitution.

Q4: Are both parts compliant with RoHS and REACH regulations?
A4: Both VI-20W-EX and VI-20W-EX-F1 are RoHS non-compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q5: What should be considered regarding inventory and availability?
A5: VI-20W-EX is obsolete. VI-20W-EX-F1 is active and available. Product status directly affects sourcing and long-term supply considerations.

Q6: Does the change in product status affect use in new designs?
A6: For ongoing or new designs, active products such as VI-20W-EX-F1 should be selected.
