Equivalent & Substitute Parts for Vicor Corporation VI-2WJ-CX

Part Overview

Vicor Corporation VI-2WJ-CX is an isolated module DC-DC converter providing a single output of 36V at 2.08A, with an input voltage range of 18V to 36V and a maximum power rating of 75W. This module features overcurrent protection (OCP), overtemperature protection (OTP), overvoltage protection (OVP), and short circuit protection (SCP). It is designed for ITE (Commercial) applications, uses through-hole mounting, and comes in a full brick package. This part belongs to the VI-200™ (75W) series and is currently classified as obsolete. As the product is no longer in active production, it is necessary to identify substitute components within the same category and parameter set for ongoing designs and maintenance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts are selected based on an exact match of electrical and mechanical parameters, including input voltage range, output voltage, output current, maximum power, isolation voltage, application type, protection features, mounting type, and package dimensions. Only models within the same manufacturer, series, and part numbering group are included and must match the critical attributes listed above. Since VI-2WJ-CX is obsolete, substitutions must maintain equivalent form-factor, electrical performance, compliance, and mounting compatibility as provided.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The main part, VI-2WJ-CX, is obsolete. The substitute part, VI-2WJ-CX-B1, is active and provides an exact match across all listed key electrical, mechanical, and compliance parameters, except for height in the package dimensions. Both parts share identical protection features, application scope, and status regarding RoHS, REACH, MSL, ECCN, and HTSUS classifications. Selection should be based on continued compliance with the relevant standards and the availability, favoring models with active product status for procurement reliability. Packaging dimensions must be verified for mechanical fit due to difference in height.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What parameters determine substitution for VI-2WJ-CX DC-DC converters?
A1: Substitution is determined by matching input voltage range, output voltage and current, power rating, isolation voltage, protection features, mounting type, package style, and compliance statuses.

Q2: Are VI-2WJ-CX and VI-2WJ-CX-B1 compatible for direct replacement?
A2: Both parts offer identical electrical specifications, protection features, and mounting type. The only variation is in package height, which must be considered for physical compatibility.

Q3: Does substitution affect RoHS or REACH compliance requirements?
A3: Both parts are RoHS non-compliant and REACH unaffected; there is no change in compliance profile between the main and substitute part.

Q4: How do mounting type and package case impact substitution?
A4: Both the main and substitute parts use through hole mounting and the full brick package case, ensuring mechanical compatibility except for height.

Q5: Are the efficiency and protection features identical between the main and substitute parts?
A5: Efficiency (90%) and protection features (OCP, OTP, OVP, SCP) are identical for both VI-2WJ-CX and VI-2WJ-CX-B1.
