Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference: VI-J4M-CW

Part Overview

The Vicor Corporation VI-J4M-CW is an isolated DC-DC converter module, delivering 10V at up to 10A with an input range of 55V to 100V and rated for 100W output power. Designed for ITE (Commercial) applications, the product features Over Current Protection (OCP) and Short Circuit Protection (SCP), with a high level of isolation at 3 kV. The device utilizes through-hole mounting in a Half Brick package and operates over a wide temperature range. The product status is “Obsolete,” necessitating identification and validation of direct substitute models for ongoing designs and service replacements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is strictly determined by matching the following parameters: manufacturer, part series, electrical ratings (input voltage range, output voltage, output current, output power, isolation voltage), application category, protection features, operating temperature range, efficiency, mounting type, package format, and compliance status. Only parts meeting all primary electrical, mechanical, and certification attributes are included for substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The VI-J4M-CW is discontinued; the VI-J4M-CW-F1 is active. Both modules are RoHS non-compliant and unaffected by REACH, with equivalent electrical, mechanical, and certification parameters. Selection between these is dictated by product status and inventory availability, not technical differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Are VI-J4M-CW and VI-J4M-CW-F1 compatible for direct substitution?
A1: Yes, both DC-DC converter modules match in all primary electrical and mechanical parameters, including input voltage range, output voltage/current, isolation, protection features, efficiency, package/case, and compliance profiles.

Q2: Does the difference in package dimensions affect substitution?
A2: Both are specified as Half Brick modules and use through-hole mounting. Verify footprint compatibility according to the provided size/dimension parameters: VI-J4M-CW (2.28" L x 2.40" W x 0.50" H) vs. VI-J4M-CW-F1 (2.28" L x 1.86" W x 0.79" H).

Q3: Do both options maintain identical compliance and certifications?
A3: Both modules are RoHS non-compliant, REACH unaffected, and share identical ECCN and HTSUS codes. No differences exist in compliance status.

Q4: Is there any difference in electrical and protection features?
A4: No differences are present; both include Over Current Protection (OCP) and Short Circuit Protection (SCP), with identical voltage, current, and power ratings.

Q5: What series grouping ensures equivalence?
A5: Both modules are part of the Vicor VI-J00™ (100W) isolated module series, confirming equivalent group and function.
