Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference: Vicor VI-B63-CY

Part Overview

The Vicor VI-B63-CY is an isolated DC-DC converter module with a single 24V output at 2.08A, rated for 50W, suitable for commercial ITE applications. It features a wide input range (200V to 400V), 3kV isolation, and includes protection functionalities such as OCP, OTP, OVP, and SCP. The module is designed for through-hole mounting (Full Brick form factor) and has a mechanical profile of 4.60" x 2.40" x 0.50". The product status is obsolete, making identification of alternative models essential for continuity in designs and inventory replacement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution criteria for DC-DC converter modules in this product category require strict adherence to the following core parameters: input voltage range, output voltage and current, output power rating, number of outputs, isolation voltage, features, efficiency, mounting type, package/case, size/dimension, operating temperature, and regulatory status (RoHS, product status). Substitute parts listed here are matched on all these specified parameters as provided in the input.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Vicor VI-B63-CY is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The substitute part VI-B63-CY-B1 is an active product and also RoHS non-compliant. Selection should be based on part status for ongoing availability and matching compliance requirements. Both parts share the same certifications and regulatory status according to the provided parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What criteria are used for selecting substitute DC-DC converter modules?
A1: Substitution is determined based on matching specifications for input voltage range, output voltage and current, output power, number of outputs, isolation voltage, operational features, efficiency, package type, mounting method, size/dimension, operating temperature range, and compliance status.

Q2: Are there any physical or electrical differences between VI-B63-CY and VI-B63-CY-B1?
A2: The primary mechanical difference is the module height: VI-B63-CY is 0.50" high, while VI-B63-CY-B1 is 1.07" high. All specified electrical and operational parameters are matched.

Q3: How does product status affect component selection?
A3: The main part (VI-B63-CY) is obsolete, so ongoing projects or repairs require substitution with an active part (VI-B63-CY-B1) for guaranteed availability.

Q4: What considerations are needed regarding RoHS compliance?
A4: Both VI-B63-CY and VI-B63-CY-B1 are RoHS non-compliant. Substitute selection must be aligned with application requirements regarding material and regulatory constraints.

Q5: Are both modules suitable for through-hole mounting in a full brick package?
A5: Yes, both are through-hole modules in a Full Brick package, though their heights differ as specified.

Q6: Are all electrical protection features matched between both parts?
A6: According to the provided specifications, both modules include OCP (Overcurrent Protection), OTP (Over Temperature Protection), OVP (Over Voltage Protection), and SCP (Short Circuit Protection).
