Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts are selected strictly based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters, including input voltage range, output voltage, output current, power rating, isolation voltage, efficiency, mounting type, package/case, and dimensional form factor. Series, application category, and features must match. RoHS and REACH compliance statuses are included for regulatory compatibility. Product status distinction is used to determine availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The VI-BW0-EY is obsolete and no longer recommended for new designs. The substitute VI-BW0-EY-B1 offers equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters as per the provided data. Both models are RoHS non-compliant and REACH unaffected; applications requiring RoHS compliance must consider this constraint. The product status of VI-BW0-EY-B1 is “Active,” providing an acceptable substitute for continued sourcing within the provided regulatory guidelines.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What determines compatibility between VI-BW0-EY and VI-BW0-EY-B1?
A1: Compatibility is strictly defined by identical input voltage range, output voltage/current, power rating, isolation voltage, efficiency, features, operating temperature, mounting type, and package/case category.

Q2: Is the mechanical form factor identical for both models?
A2: Both parts use the Full Brick package with matching length and width. The height differs: VI-BW0-EY is 0.50" H; VI-BW0-EY-B1 is 1.07" H. Mechanical fit verification is based only on specified dimensions.

Q3: Are both models compliant with RoHS and REACH?
A3: Both parts are RoHS non-compliant and REACH unaffected. Selection must consider this status according to project requirements.

Q4: Are feature sets matched for both models?
A4: Yes, both incorporate OCP, OTP, OVP, SCP features.

Q5: Is the VI-BW0-EY-B1 suitable as a drop-in substitute for VI-BW0-EY?
A5: Substitute selection can be made based strictly on identical key electrical and mechanical parameters. Variance exists only in the package height as per the provided data.
