Selecting substitutes and crosses for ICs

Hello,

Say I need to find a replacement part for “VNQ5027AKTR-E”, are there any online tools or resources that can help me determine a compatible substitute? Or is asking the DigiKey’s technical department the best bet for parts like these? Sometimes I select my own crosses for caps and resistors based on description, but I’m not comfortable doing that with more complex components since I am not an expert.

Thanks,

Under the product Attributes section of the product page you can select the attributes most important for your application and the DigiKey site will look for additional parts with the same attributes as the product you are looking at. Here is an example of a similar part. As you can see I have selected three attributes. If I was to hit search at the bottom it will give me a list that could be potential cross with those same attributes. Unfortunately for part VNQ5027AKTR-E I do not have a cross with the same number of outputs and the same current output as the orignal part.

If you are not able to find a cross using these attributes please feel free to contact on here or any of the traditional contact methods.

Wow, how have I been using the site for so long without knowing that?! The table design is so unobtrusive I never noticed it.
