Vicor VI-B5R-CW Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The Vicor VI-B5R-CW is a DC-DC isolated module designed for ITE (Commercial) applications. It delivers a single 7.5V output at up to 13.33A from a 100V–200V input, with an output power of 100W and 3kV isolation. Key features include OCP, OTP, OVP, and SCP. The product status is obsolete, making alternative models necessary for continued sourcing and maintenance of legacy designs that require identical functionality and performance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute selection for the Vicor VI-B5R-CW is based exclusively on matching key electrical and mechanical parameters. Core criteria include input voltage range (100V–200V), output voltage (7.5V), maximum output current (13.33A), power rating (100W), isolation voltage (3kV), features, efficiency, operating temperature, mounting type, and package form factor compliance. Only parts adhering to these parameters are grouped as substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The main part, Vicor VI-B5R-CW, is obsolete, while the VI-B5R-CW-B1 remains active. Both are not RoHS compliant and unaffected by REACH status. Series, electrical, and mechanical parameters are matched except for height. The substitute maintains regulatory alignment (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8504.40.9580) and product category alignment. Selection should consider the package dimensions specified.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What criteria determine an acceptable substitute for the Vicor VI-B5R-CW DC-DC converter?
A1: Acceptable substitutes must match the input voltage range, output voltage, output current, power rating, isolation voltage, features, efficiency, operating temperature, mounting type, and package or case style.

Q2: Are there differences in the mounting methods between VI-B5R-CW and VI-B5R-CW-B1?
A2: Both models use a through-hole mounting type and full brick package.

Q3: Is the substitute part (VI-B5R-CW-B1) RoHS compliant?
A3: VI-B5R-CW-B1 is RoHS non-compliant, matching the compliance status of the main part.

Q4: Do the substitute and main part share identical mechanical dimensions?
A4: Both have full brick format and the same length and width, but the substitute has a greater height.

Q5: Are both products suitable for the same regulatory and industrial contexts (REACH/ECCN/HTSUS)?
A5: Both products are REACH unaffected, have an ECCN of EAR99, and share the same HTSUS code.

Q6: Can these parts be interchanged without modifications to other system parameters?
A6: Electrical and mechanical parameters relevant to function and compliance are aligned, except for the specified package height.
