VE-BW0-IW

Product Overview

The Vicor Corporation VE-BW0-IW is a VE-200 (100 W) isolated module DC-DC converter intended for board-mounted power conversion. It accepts an 18 V to 36 V input and provides a single 5 V output at up to 20 A, with a rated output power of 100 W. The module includes 3 kV input-to-output isolation, 90% efficiency, and a through-hole full-brick package measuring 4.60 in L x 2.40 in W x 0.50 in H (116.8 mm x 61.0 mm x 12.7 mm). Its operating temperature range is -40°C to 85°C.

Design & Procurement Notes

Designers selecting this converter should confirm that the available input voltage remains within 18 V to 36 V and that load requirements remain compatible with the 5 V output, 20 A maximum output current, and 100 W power rating. The 3 kV isolation rating should be checked against system isolation requirements, while the 90% efficiency and -40°C to 85°C operating range should be considered during thermal planning. Mechanical layout must accommodate the through-hole full-brick package and its 4.60 in L x 2.40 in W x 0.50 in H (116.8 mm x 61.0 mm x 12.7 mm) envelope. The OCP, OTP, OVP, and SCP features can support fault protection, but system-level protection coordination should still be reviewed.
