Vicor VI-J7Z-CZ Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The Vicor Corporation VI-J7Z-CZ is an isolated module DC-DC converter featuring 1 output at 2V and 5A, with a wide input voltage range of 100V to 375V. It is designed for ITE (Commercial) applications and incorporates protection features such as overcurrent protection (OCP) and short circuit protection (SCP). The device delivers up to 10W output power and 3kV isolation, with 90% efficiency, through-hole mounting, and half brick packaging. The VI-J7Z-CZ is marked as obsolete, making the identification of equivalent and substitute models necessary for ensuring supply continuity and compatibility in existing designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is based strictly on matching the essential electrical, mechanical, and compliance parameters. The allowed substitution logic includes the following key parameters: input voltage range, output voltage and current, power rating, isolation, efficiency, mounting type, protection features, operating temperature, package type, application, and compliance statuses (RoHS and REACH). Substitutes must fall within the same series and conform to the specified parameters for performance and fit.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The main part number VI-J7Z-CZ is identified as obsolete. The substitute VI-J7Z-CZ-F1 is listed as active, with matching electrical, mechanical, and compliance parameters. Both parts share the same RoHS non-compliance and REACH unaffected status. ECCN and HTSUS codes are identical. Selection should be guided by the product status and provided compliance certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the critical parameters for substituting DC-DC converter modules in the VI-J00™ (25W) series?
A1: Substitution requires matching input voltage range, output voltage, output current, power rating, isolation voltage, mounting type, package type, protection features, efficiency, operating temperature range, application, and compliance statuses.

Q2: Are the VI-J7Z-CZ and VI-J7Z-CZ-F1 compatible in terms of electrical and mechanical characteristics?
A2: Both models share identical electrical parameters, protection features, compliance status, mounting type, and package classification (half brick).

Q3: Do differences in dimensions affect substitution of half brick DC-DC converters of this series?
A3: Both parts are classified as half brick; provided dimensions should be checked against the target application for mechanical fit when substituting.

Q4: Are compliance statuses such as RoHS and REACH considered in the substitution process?
A4: Yes, RoHS compliance and REACH status must be the same for direct substitution in designs requiring specific certification or environmental requirements.

Q5: Why is it necessary to find substitute parts for obsolete DC-DC converters?
A5: Substitute parts ensure continued availability for maintenance, production, and repair when the original part is no longer manufactured.
