Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Vicor VI-B6J-EX are determined by strict adherence to electrical and mechanical parameters as specified. Key substitution parameters for DC-DC converters in the VI-200™ (75W) series include: identical output voltage (36V), maximum output current (2.08A), input voltage range (200V to 400V), isolation voltage (3 kV), efficiency (88%), mounting type (through hole), package/case (full brick), features (OCP, OTP, OVP, SCP), operating temperature (-10°C to 85°C), and compliance characteristics (RoHS, REACH, ECCN, HTSUS).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For direct substitution of the obsolete Vicor VI-B6J-EX, select the Vicor VI-B6J-EX-B1 based on identical key electrical and mechanical parameters and product certifications. Both models are RoHS non-compliant, share the same REACH status, ECCN, HTSUS, mounting type, and package category. Selection is based on matching product status and compliance characteristics as provided.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the essential criteria for substituting DC-DC converters in the VI-200™ (75W) series?
A1: Substitution requires matching output voltage, output current, input voltage range, isolation voltage, efficiency, package type, mounting style, feature set, operating temperature, and regulatory status.

Q2: Are the dimensions of the substitute part VI-B6J-EX-B1 compatible with VI-B6J-EX in all mechanical environments?
A2: Both parts maintain full brick form factor. The substitute (VI-B6J-EX-B1) has a height of 1.07", compared to the main part's 0.50". Ensure vertical clearance accommodates this difference.

Q3: How do compliance statuses (RoHS, REACH) impact selection?
A3: Both models are RoHS non-compliant and REACH unaffected. Substitute parts must align with the original part's compliance requirements per application policies.

Q4: Are there differences in electrical features between VI-B6J-EX and VI-B6J-EX-B1?
A4: No differences; both parts offer OCP, OTP, OVP, SCP, identical voltage and current ratings, input ranges, efficiency, and isolation.

Q5: Does product status affect ongoing design choice?
A5: VI-B6J-EX is obsolete, while VI-B6J-EX-B1 is active, making it suitable for ongoing designs where identical operational characteristics are required.
