Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part grouping is strictly determined by matching electrical and mechanical parameters relevant to DC-DC isolated converter modules. Key criteria include the manufacturer, input and output voltage range, output current, power rating, isolation voltage, operational features, mounting type, package size/dimension, RoHS status, REACH status, product series, operating temperature, and package/case format. Only parts exactly matching these parameters are considered suitable equivalents.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between the Vicor VI-BTJ-CV and its substitute VI-BTJ-CV-B1 should be based on product status and compliance parameters. VI-BTJ-CV is listed as Obsolete and is therefore not suitable for new designs or replacement in the long term. The VI-BTJ-CV-B1 is Active and maintains identical electrical and environmental parameters, offering an appropriate substitute within the same series and regulatory status. Both parts are not RoHS compliant and share the same REACH and ECCN designations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What criteria determine the suitability of VI-BTJ-CV-B1 as a substitute for VI-BTJ-CV? A1: Suitability is established by matching key electrical performance parameters (input voltage, output voltage/current, power rating, isolation voltage), identical features, mounting type, package/case format, operating temperature range, compliance, and series.

Q2: Are there any dimensional differences between the main and substitute models? A2: Both models share the same length and width dimensions; however, the VI-BTJ-CV-B1 is higher (1.07" vs. 0.50" for the VI-BTJ-CV). Compatibility should be evaluated based on available mechanical clearance.

Q3: Does the substitute model maintain the same compliance and certification status? A3: Both VI-BTJ-CV and VI-BTJ-CV-B1 are RoHS non-compliant, REACH unaffected, and have identical ECCN and HTSUS codes.

Q4: Can the substitute part be used directly in existing designs using the VI-BTJ-CV? A4: The substitute part matches all provided electrical and mechanical specifications, except for the height dimension. Review mechanical integration as required.

Q5: Is the substitute part available in through-hole mounting and full brick package? A5: Yes, it utilizes the same mounting type and package/case.
