Equivalent & Substitute Parts for VI-B6J-CW

Part Overview

The Vicor Corporation VI-B6J-CW is an isolated module DC-DC converter, offering 1 output at 36V and 2.78A, with an input voltage range of 200V to 400V. The device provides 100W output power and features over-current, over-temperature, over-voltage, and short circuit protection. With a 3 kV isolation rating, full brick package, and 90% efficiency, it is intended for ITE (commercial) applications. This model is classified as obsolete, making it necessary to identify alternative or substitute parts for ongoing designs or maintenance purposes.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution within this DC-DC converter category is determined strictly by matching the following key parameters:

• Manufacturer compatibility
• Input voltage range (200V – 400V)
• Output voltage (36V)
• Output current (2.78A)
• Output power (100W)
• Isolation voltage (3 kV)
• Features (OCP, OTP, OVP, SCP)
• Efficiency (90%)
• Package type (Full Brick), mounting (Through Hole), and mechanical dimensions
• Application suitability (ITE Commercial)
• Compliance and status information

Only parts meeting all listed specifications and compliance status are considered substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The main part, VI-B6J-CW, is classified as obsolete. The substitute VI-B6J-CW-B1 maintains equivalent key electrical and mechanical parameters, is part of the same series, and matches compliance profiles, including RoHS non-compliance and REACH unaffected status. The substitute part is active, with a difference only in the height dimension within the same Full Brick form factor.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the essential criteria for selecting a DC-DC converter substitute in this category?
A1: Criteria include matching input voltage range, output voltage and current, power rating, isolation voltage, features, efficiency, mounting type, package form factor, operating temperature range, and compliance status.

Q2: Can VI-B6J-CW-B1 be used as a direct replacement for VI-B6J-CW?
A2: Based on available specifications, VI-B6J-CW-B1 matches all key electrical parameters and compliance, differing only in height. Both share the same Full Brick package outline.

Q3: Are there compliance differences between VI-B6J-CW and VI-B6J-CW-B1?
A3: Both parts are RoHS non-compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes.

Q4: Is mounting or mechanical fit affected by the substitute?
A4: Both parts use Through Hole mounting and the Full Brick package. The substitute part has a greater height dimension.

Q5: Does the substitute part remain within the same application category?
A5: Yes, both are suitable for ITE (Commercial) applications, according to the specifications provided.
