Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MB7480-100 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Frequency: 42kHz
• Voltage Rating: 10V ~ 32V
• Beam Angle: 11°
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 65°C
• Functional Type: Transmitter and Receiver
• Series Compatibility: 4-20HR-MaxSonar-WR
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The MB7480-101 meets all these criteria and represents the active production equivalent within the same product series and base product family (MB7480).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MB7480-101 is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete MB7480-100. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the 4-20HR-MaxSonar-WR series. The MB7480-101 maintains ROHS3 compliance and is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability. For applications previously using the MB7480-100, the MB7480-101 provides full functional and electrical compatibility without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MB7480-101 directly replace the MB7480-100 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in frequency (42kHz), voltage rating (10V ~ 32V), beam angle (11°), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 65°C), and functional type (Transmitter/Receiver). They belong to the same 4-20HR-MaxSonar-WR series and share the same base product number (MB7480).

Q: What is the difference between MB7480-100 and MB7480-101?

A: The primary difference is product status and packaging. The MB7480-100 is obsolete, while the MB7480-101 is active production. The MB7480-101 is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the MB7480-100 packaging designation is not specified.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both the MB7480-100 and MB7480-101 maintain ROHS3 compliance and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8543.70.4500) classifications.

Q: Why should I transition from MB7480-100 to MB7480-101?

A: The MB7480-100 is obsolete and no longer in production. The MB7480-101 is the active equivalent with confirmed ongoing availability, ensuring long-term supply chain reliability for new designs and system maintenance.
