Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts are grouped strictly by matching critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for correct function and drop-in replacement in DC-DC converter product category. These key parameters include input voltage range, output voltage, output current, power rating, isolation rating, package type, mounting type, efficiency, operating temperature range, output features, and compliance certifications. Mechanical dimensions must be equivalent for form-fit compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The VI-B1M-EV is classified as obsolete, requiring substitution for continued usage and design support. The VE-B1M-EV matches all critical electrical, mechanical, and application parameters as provided, and further offers ROHS3 compliance for regions requiring environmental certifications. Both devices share identical size, mounting, and all listed features. Product status and RoHS compliance are differentiating factors relevant to current and future applications where regulatory requirements apply.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Which parameters must be matched for a DC-DC converter direct substitution?
A: Input voltage range, output voltage, output current, power rating, isolation, efficiency, package/case, mounting type, physical dimensions, operating temperature range, applications, and compliance certifications are mandatory match criteria.

Q: Are VE-B1M-EV and VI-B1M-EV interchangeable in existing designs?
A: Based on provided parameters, both models are identical in form factor and electrical performance, supporting direct substitution where obsolete product replacement is required.

Q: What are the package and mounting considerations for substitution?
A: Both parts use the Full Brick package with identical dimensions and through-hole mounting, enabling direct physical and electrical integration.

Q: How does RoHS compliance impact selection between these models?
A: VE-B1M-EV is ROHS3 compliant, suitable for applications where environmental regulations mandate it. VI-B1M-EV is RoHS non-compliant and may not meet requirements in such regions.

Q: Are there application-specific features that affect substitution between these converters?
A: Both models include OCP, OTP, OVP, and SCP protections, matching application needs for ITE (Commercial) environments as specified.
