• Manufacturer: Vicor Corporation (consistent source)
• Product Status: Active status of substitute part ensures ongoing availability

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The VI-HAMD-CL is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete VI-HAMD-CM. Both parts share the VI-HAM base product platform and are manufactured by Vicor Corporation, ensuring design compatibility within the VI-HAM product family.

The VI-HAMD-CL maintains RoHS non-compliant status consistent with the original part. A significant compliance advantage of the VI-HAMD-CL is its REACH Unaffected designation, compared to the REACH Affected status of the VI-HAMD-CM. This distinction is relevant for applications subject to REACH regulatory requirements.

The VI-HAMD-CL is currently in active production status with available inventory, providing assured supply for both replacement and new design applications. The transition from VI-HAMD-CM to VI-HAMD-CL is supported by the shared base product number and manufacturer recommendation.
