Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute DC DC converters must match the following parameters: Manufacturer, type (isolated module), number of outputs (1), input voltage range (55V–100V), output voltage (10V), output current (2.5A), nominal power (25W), isolation voltage (3 kV), applications, protection features, operating temperature, efficiency, mounting type, and package/case format. Compliance and certification statuses are also evaluated. Products meeting all listed electrical, mechanical, and regulatory criteria are included as direct substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The VI-J4M-CZ is obsolete. When selecting substitutes, confirm the product status is active and inventory is available. Ensure regulatory compliance matches requirements, specifically RoHS non-compliance, REACH unaffected, and ECCN/HTSUS classifications. Only parts matching the provided certifications and inventory status are suitable replacements in regulated environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What determines whether a DC DC converter can substitute for VI-J4M-CZ?
A1: Substitution is based strictly on matching all provided electrical, mechanical, and regulatory parameters. This includes input voltage range, output voltage and current, isolation voltage, power rating, operating temperature, package type, features, and compliance credentials.

Q2: Are the package dimensions critical for substitution?
A2: Yes. Substitute products must use the Half Brick format. Size/dimension differences may influence board layout; only physical compatibility within specified through hole mounting is considered.

Q3: Does RoHS or REACH status affect part selection?
A3: Yes. Substitute parts must have identical RoHS status and REACH unaffected designation to match compliance requirements.

Q4: Are features such as OCP (Over-Current Protection) and SCP (Short Circuit Protection) mandatory?
A4: Yes. The substitute part must include all provided protection features for direct equivalence.

Q5: Do active product status and inventory levels factor into selection?
A5: Yes. Prefer active status and sufficient inventory for long-term availability. Obsolete parts may be used for existing repairs but are not recommended for new designs under ongoing production constraints.
