Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Vicor VI-BTL-CX are selected exclusively on matching electrical and mechanical parameters: input and output voltage and current ratings, power output, isolation voltage, protection features, operating temperature, mounting type, package/case, and dimensions. Only parts providing identical specifications within these defined fields are considered equivalent under engineering standards for this product category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The primary selection factor is product status: the VI-BTL-CX is obsolete. The VI-BTL-CX-B1 maintains active status and matches all specified regulatory data, including RoHS non-compliance and REACH unaffected certification. Both parts share ECCN and HTSUS classifications. Selection of the substitute part should be based solely on these matched certifications and compliance details.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What criteria are used to qualify a substitute for VI-BTL-CX?
A: Substitution is qualified by identical input and output voltage and current ratings, power output, isolation voltage, protection features, operating temperature, mounting type, package/case, and compliance certifications.

Q2: Are there differences in electrical performance between VI-BTL-CX and VI-BTL-CX-B1?
A: No differences exist across the compared electrical parameters. Output voltage, current, power, isolation voltage, efficiency, and operating temperature range are identical.

Q3: Are there any mechanical or dimensional differences between VI-BTL-CX and its substitute?
A: Both use the full brick package format; the substitute part (VI-BTL-CX-B1) is taller (1.07" vs 0.50").

Q4: Do compliance certifications differ between these parts?
A: No. Both parts are RoHS non-compliant, REACH unaffected, with identical ECCN and HTSUS codes.

Q5: Are the mounting methods for VI-BTL-CX and VI-BTL-CX-B1 the same?
A: Yes. Through-hole mounting is specified for both parts.

Q6: Why is substitution necessary for VI-BTL-CX?
A: VI-BTL-CX is designated as obsolete, requiring selection of an active substitute to ensure continued availability.
