Equivalent & Substitute Parts for Vicor VI-J5P-CZ DC DC Converter

Part Overview

Vicor Corporation part number VI-J5P-CZ is an isolated DC DC converter module with one output, rated for 13.8V at 1.81A and 25W maximum power. It operates from a 100V to 200V input and comes in a half brick, through-hole mounting package. With an isolation voltage of 3 kV and protection features including OCP and SCP, it is suitable for ITE (commercial) applications. The module is now classified as obsolete, making it necessary to identify alternative models with matching electrical and mechanical characteristics to ensure continued system compatibility and reliability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts are identified by matching all strictly specified electrical and mechanical characteristics within the product category. For isolated DC DC converter modules, substitution is validated when the following key parameters are equivalent:

• Manufacturer and Series
• Module type (Isolated Module)
• Number of Outputs
• Input voltage range
• Output voltage and current rating
• Maximum power rating
• Isolation voltage
• Application category
• Features (OCP, SCP)
• Operating temperature range
• Efficiency
• Mounting type
• Package / case style
• RoHS and REACH compliance status

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both VI-J5P-CZ and VI-J5P-CZ-F1 are RoHS non-compliant and REACH unaffected. The primary distinction lies in product status: VI-J5P-CZ is obsolete, whereas VI-J5P-CZ-F1 is active. Selecting VI-J5P-CZ-F1 is suitable when continued availability and support are required under identical compliance and certification profiles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What parameters are critical for substituting isolated DC DC converter modules in this category?
A1: Substitution requires matching input voltage range, output voltage and current, power rating, isolation voltage, series membership, protection features, operating temperature, mounting type, package/case style, and compliance status.

Q2: Does a different size or dimension within the half brick package affect compatibility?
A2: For mechanical compatibility, size and form factor must be evaluated according to the system’s board layout and mounting constraints. Both parts are half brick modules, though dimensions differ, which may affect mechanical fit.

Q3: How does product status influence substitute selection in this case?
A3: The obsolete status of VI-J5P-CZ requires selection of an active alternative such as VI-J5P-CZ-F1 to maintain reliable sourcing and product lifecycle continuity.

Q4: Are both substitute and original modules compliant with RoHS or REACH?
A4: Both VI-J5P-CZ and VI-J5P-CZ-F1 are RoHS non-compliant and REACH unaffected according to the input specifications.

Q5: What allowed features must be matched for substitution in this DC DC converter category?
A5: Overcurrent protection (OCP), short-circuit protection (SCP), and all other listed features must be matched to ensure functionality equivalence.
