Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution suitability in the DC DC converter module category is strictly determined by matching the following key parameters: input voltage range, output voltage, output current, isolation voltage, protection features, efficiency, mounting type, case/package format, dimensions, compliance status, and operating temperature range. Only components meeting these exact criteria are included as substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the VI-BT1-CW and VI-BT1-CW-B1 are RoHS non-compliant and REACH unaffected. The main part VI-BT1-CW is obsolete, while the substitute VI-BT1-CW-B1 is active. Electrical key parameters and regulatory profiles are identical, except for height dimension within the Full Brick package. Compliance and certifications match as specified.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the essential criteria for substituting DC DC converter modules in this product group?
A1: Substitution requires matching input voltage range, output voltage, output current, isolation voltage, protection features, operating temperature range, efficiency, package type, compliance status, and mounting method.

Q2: Are there any dimensional differences between VI-BT1-CW and VI-BT1-CW-B1?
A2: VI-BT1-CW has a height of 0.50" (12.7mm), while VI-BT1-CW-B1 has a height of 1.07" (27.1mm). Length and width are identical.

Q3: Is compatibility affected by RoHS or REACH status for these parts?
A3: Both DC DC converter modules are RoHS non-compliant and REACH unaffected. Regulatory compatibility remains equivalent for the specified applications.

Q4: Does the Full Brick package imply direct mechanical interchangeability?
A4: Both parts use the Full Brick format with identical length and width; only the height differs. Mechanical compatibility should be confirmed based on the application's allowable clearance for height.

Q5: Can features such as OCP, OTP, OVP, and SCP be relied upon in both models?
A5: Both VI-BT1-CW and VI-BT1-CW-B1 provide identical protection features as specified.
