The Vicor VI-J3B-CZ is a high-performance DC-DC converter designed for specialized industrial and commercial power conversion applications. This isolated module offers robust power transformation capabilities, converting input voltages between 42V and 60V to a precise 95V output with exceptional efficiency of 90%.
Engineered for demanding electrical environments, the converter operates reliably across a wide temperature range from -25°C to 100°C, making it suitable for harsh industrial settings. Its compact half-brick form factor, measuring 2.28" x 2.40" x 0.50", allows for flexible integration into complex electronic systems while maintaining a robust through-hole mounting configuration.
The converter delivers 25 watts of power with a maximum output current of 263mA and provides robust electrical isolation up to 3 kV, ensuring signal integrity and protecting sensitive electronic components. Advanced protection features include Over Current Protection (OCP) and Short Circuit Protection (SCP), enhancing system reliability and preventing potential electrical failures.
Primarily targeted at Information Technology Equipment (ITE) in commercial applications, this converter addresses critical design challenges related to power conversion, signal isolation, and thermal management. Its high efficiency and comprehensive protection mechanisms make it ideal for industrial control systems, telecommunications infrastructure, and specialized electronic equipment requiring precise voltage transformation.
While specifically a Vicor VI-J3B series product, potential alternative or equivalent models might include similar converters from manufacturers like Lambda, Artesyn, or TDK-Lambda that offer comparable power ratings and isolation characteristics in the half-brick package format.
Note that this specific model is not RoHS compliant, which may impact its use in certain regulated electronics manufacturing environments.
