Equivalent & Substitute Parts for Vicor VI-2WV-CV DC-DC Converter

Part Overview

The Vicor VI-2WV-CV is an Isolated Module DC-DC Converter from the VI-200™ (150W) series, featuring a single output of 5.8V at 25.86A with an 18V–36V input voltage range. The power supply delivers 150W, isolation of 3 kV, and standard protection features (OCP, OTP, OVP, SCP), suitable for ITE (Commercial) applications. With a product status marked as obsolete, it is necessary to identify substitute models that match the critical electrical and mechanical specifications to ensure continued system compatibility and support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The VI-2WV-CV DC-DC converter is labeled obsolete, while the substitute part VI-2WV-CV-B1 is active. Both parts are RoHS non-compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8504.40.9580. Selection should prioritize active product status and the equivalence of compliance and certifications. Dimensional differences should be referenced directly, as all other functional and regulatory parameters are matched.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Which parameters must match for a proper DC-DC converter substitution?
A: Match input voltage range, output voltage and current, power rating, series, isolation value, features, mounting type, package/case, operating temperature, efficiency, compliance, and certifications.

Q: Are there any differences in mechanical dimensions between these parts?
A: The main difference is in the height: VI-2WV-CV is 0.50" high, whereas VI-2WV-CV-B1 is 1.07" high. Both retain identical width and length.

Q: Is regulatory compliance affected by the substitution?
A: Both parts are RoHS non-compliant and REACH unaffected, with matching ECCN and HTSUS classifications, maintaining consistent compliance status.

Q: Does substituting VI-2WV-CV with VI-2WV-CV-B1 affect operational parameters?
A: No differences exist in electrical, functional, or protective parameters between the two parts.

Q: Can VI-2WV-CV-B1 be used in the same applications as VI-2WV-CV?
A: All critical application features and specifications are identical. The substitute is suited for ITE (Commercial) applications.

Q: Does product status impact engineering selection?
A: Active status (VI-2WV-CV-B1) is preferred over obsolete status (VI-2WV-CV) for ongoing support and inventory availability.
