Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is determined strictly by the equivalence of these key parameters: output voltage, output current, input voltage range, power rating, isolation voltage, package type, mounting method, features, efficiency, and environmental ratings. Only models with identical or matching values in all listed fields are considered viable substitutes for the Vicor VI-BTF-CV.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The main part Vicor VI-BTF-CV is obsolete. The substitute part, Vicor VI-BTF-CV-B1, is active and offers matching electrical and mechanical specifications. Both parts are RoHS non-compliant and unaffected by REACH regulation; these compliance statuses should be considered during selection. The HTSUS and ECCN classifications are identical, supporting international trade equivalence between models.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Which electrical parameters must be matched for direct substitution of the Vicor VI-BTF-CV DC-DC converter?
A1: Output voltage, output current, input voltage range, isolation voltage, and power rating must be identical between parts for direct substitution.

Q2: Are there differences in the package dimensions and mounting style between the VI-BTF-CV and VI-BTF-CV-B1?
A2: Both use the Full Brick package type and Through Hole mounting. The only difference is overall height: VI-BTF-CV is 0.50" high; VI-BTF-CV-B1 is 1.07" high.

Q3: Does the VI-BTF-CV-B1 maintain the same feature set and thermal rating as the VI-BTF-CV?
A3: Yes, the substitute includes all specified features (OCP, OTP, OVP, SCP) and the same operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 85°C).

Q4: How should compliance be considered when substituting these DC-DC converter models?
A4: Both VI-BTF-CV and VI-BTF-CV-B1 are RoHS non-compliant and REACH unaffected; compliance status remains unchanged after substitution.

Q5: Is the substitute part, VI-BTF-CV-B1, suitable for ITE (Commercial) applications?
A5: The VI-BTF-CV-B1 is specified for ITE (Commercial) applications, matching the original main part.
