Equivalent & Substitute Parts for Vicor Corporation VI-23J-CX

Part Overview

The Vicor Corporation VI-23J-CX is a DC-DC converter module in the VI-200™ (75W) series. It provides isolated DC-DC conversion with a single 36V output, supporting up to 2.08A (75 W) from a 42V–60V input range. The module features through-hole mounting, full brick package, and standard protective functions (OCP, OTP, OVP, SCP). With its status marked as obsolete, sourcing alternative models with identical electrical, mechanical, and compliance parameters is necessary for continued system maintenance and design compatibility in ITE (Commercial) applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution in this DC-DC converter category is determined by electrical parameters (input voltage range, output voltage and current, power rating, isolation voltage), mechanical form factor (package/case dimensions, mounting type), compliance designations (RoHS, REACH, ECCN), and application/environment ratings. The substitute listed matches all critical input and output specifications, protective features, and regulatory data, ensuring compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The listed substitute, Vicor Corporation VI-23J-CX-B1, maintains all critical electrical and protective parameters relative to the obsolete VI-23J-CX. Both devices are RoHS non-compliant and share REACH unaffected, ECCN EAR99, and identical application and mounting characteristics. While the mechanical dimension (height) differs, both utilize the full brick form factor and through-hole mounting, preserving typical installation compatibility subject to height constraints. Substitution is validated by the match across all provided compliance fields.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What parameters are critical for substituting VI-23J-CX?
Electrical ratings (input voltage, output voltage/current, power, isolation), protective features, mounting type, package format, compliance, and application environment are critical.

Q2: Is the mechanical package identical between VI-23J-CX and VI-23J-CX-B1?
Both use the full brick form factor with through-hole mounting. The height differs (VI-23J-CX: 0.50" H, VI-23J-CX-B1: 1.07" H), which may affect vertical clearance.

Q3: Are there any differences in compliance or regulatory certifications?
Both are RoHS non-compliant, REACH unaffected, and designated ECCN EAR99.

Q4: Do both parts support the same operating temperature range?
Yes, both parts support -25°C ~ 85°C.

Q5: Is the substitute part currently active?
VI-23J-CX-B1 is listed as active, while VI-23J-CX is obsolete.

Q6: Can VI-23J-CX-B1 be used in the same ITE (Commercial) applications as VI-23J-CX?
Both parts are specified for ITE (Commercial) applications.

Q7: Are the protective features equivalent between the two parts?
Yes, both offer OCP, OTP, OVP, and SCP.
