Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection of VI-24J-CX-B1 as a substitute for VI-24J-CX is based on identical key electrical and mechanical parameters, consistent feature sets, compliance status (RoHS non-compliant), and maintained certifications. The substitute part VI-24J-CX-B1 is in active production, while VI-24J-CX is obsolete, supporting continued supply requirements within permitted compliance frameworks.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What criteria were used to determine substitute compatibility for DC-DC converter modules?
Selection is strictly based on parameters including input voltage range, output voltage/current, isolation voltage, package/case, efficiency, temperature range, output count, mounting type, and feature set.

Q2: Are there any differences in RoHS or REACH compliance between VI-24J-CX and VI-24J-CX-B1?
Both models are RoHS non-compliant and REACH unaffected. There are no differences in compliance status as described in the provided data.

Q3: Does the substitute part have identical mounting and package specifications?
Both VI-24J-CX and VI-24J-CX-B1 utilize the Full Brick case and Through Hole mounting. The substitute part differs only in height (VI-24J-CX-B1 is 1.07" H vs 0.50" H), which should be considered for mechanical fitting.

Q4: Can VI-24J-CX-B1 be used in all applications previously utilizing VI-24J-CX?
Feature set, electrical performance, and mechanical mounting (with exception of height) match the obsolete model, permitting direct substitution within ITE (Commercial) applications per provided data.

Q5: What is the significance of product status in substitute selection?
Active production status ensures ongoing availability, supply continuity, and lifecycle support, especially when the original part is obsolete.
