Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Vicor VI-2TK-EW DC DC converter are grouped strictly on matching key parameters: input voltage range, output voltage and current, power rating, isolation voltage, protection features, operating temperature, efficiency, mounting type, package dimensions, and compliance statuses. Only parts with identical electrical and mechanical characteristics, as listed above, are eligible for substitution, ensuring direct compatibility within existing systems.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection of substitute parts should be based on product status and compliance attributes. The VI-2TK-EW is obsolete, while VI-2TK-EW-B1 is active, facilitating ongoing sourcing and support. Both components hold identical RoHS non-compliance status, REACH unaffected classification, and matching ECCN and HTSUS codes. Moisture Sensitivity Level is not applicable for both. Select substitutes strictly matching the listed regulatory and certification parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the primary substitution criteria for the VI-2TK-EW DC DC converter?
A1: Substitute components must match input voltage range, output voltage and current, power rating, isolation voltage, protection features, operating temperature, efficiency, mounting type, package form factor, external dimensions, and compliance statuses.

Q2: Are there any significant mechanical differences between VI-2TK-EW and VI-2TK-EW-B1?
A2: The primary mechanical difference is the height of the full brick package: VI-2TK-EW is 0.50" (12.7mm) tall, while VI-2TK-EW-B1 is 1.07" (27.1mm). Other dimensions are identical.

Q3: Do both parts offer the same electrical performance and protection features?
A3: Both parts provide identical electrical specifications, protection features (OCP, OTP, OVP, SCP), and are suitable for ITE (Commercial) applications.

Q4: Are there any compliance concerns when substituting?
A4: Both parts are RoHS non-compliant and unaffected by REACH, maintaining consistent regulatory status.

Q5: Is thermal or mounting compatibility ensured?
A5: Through-hole mounting and full brick package type are consistent; only the height dimension differs and must be considered for enclosure or heat dissipation requirements.
