VI-B1T-CW Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference Guide

Part Overview

The Vicor Corporation VI-B1T-CW is a DC DC converter categorized as an isolated module, designed to deliver a single output of 6.5V at a maximum current of 15.38A, with an operating input voltage range of 21V to 32V and a maximum power output of 100W. The device is supplied in a full brick through-hole package with a nominal efficiency of 90% and 3 kV isolation for ITE (Commercial) applications. The product is currently classified as obsolete. Identifying substitute parts is critical to ensure uninterrupted designs, repairs, or inventory management where the VI-B1T-CW is specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Viable substitutes for the Vicor VI-B1T-CW isolated DC DC converter are identified strictly by matching core electrical and mechanical parameters. These include input voltage range (21V–32V), output voltage (6.5V), output current (15.38A), maximum power rating (100W), voltage isolation (3 kV), efficiency (90%), output configuration, mounting style (through hole, full brick), operating temperature range, and relevant standards compliance. The substitute must also possess matching or equivalent protection features and must meet or exceed the original’s mechanical envelope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between VI-B1T-CW and VI-B1T-CW-B1 should be based on product status and compliance designations such as RoHS and REACH. The VI-B1T-CW is obsolete, while the VI-B1T-CW-B1 is active. Both parts share identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH unaffected statuses. ECCN and HTSUS numbers are also equivalent, ensuring uniformity in regulatory classification and import/export handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What parameters must match to select a substitute for VI-B1T-CW?
A1: Substitution requires matching input voltage range, output voltage, output current, total output power, isolation voltage, efficiency, features, package type, mounting configuration, and operating temperature.

Q2: Are the VI-B1T-CW and VI-B1T-CW-B1 compatible in PCB footprint and electrical performance?
A2: Both products use the full brick package and through hole mounting, with matching electrical ratings. The only provided difference is in height dimension.

Q3: Does the difference in height (0.50" vs. 1.07") affect substitution?
A3: Substitution is permitted if the mechanical envelope can accommodate the taller profile. The base area and pin configuration are specified as identical.

Q4: Does substituting VI-B1T-CW-B1 affect compliance status or regulatory obligations?
A4: Both are RoHS non-compliant and REACH unaffected, with ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8504.40.9580 designations. No changes in compliance status result from substitution.

Q5: Can VI-B1T-CW-B1 be used in the same operating environment and thermal conditions?
A5: Both products specify the same operating temperature range of -25°C to 85°C.

Q6: Is any difference expected in inventory and logistics tracking?
A6: The part numbers and product status should be updated accordingly in inventory records due to the obsolete status of VI-B1T-CW and active status of VI-B1T-CW-B1.
