Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MB7480-200 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Operating frequency: 42kHz
• Voltage rating: 10 V ~ 32 V
• Beam angle: 23°
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 65°C
• Functional type: Transmitter and Receiver configuration
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The MB7480-201 meets all substitution criteria. Both parts share the same base product number (MB7480), series designation (4-20HR-MaxSonar-WR), and all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction is product status: MB7480-200 is obsolete while MB7480-201 is active.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications currently using MB7480-200, transition to MB7480-201. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8543.70.4500) classifications. The MB7480-201 is the active equivalent with current manufacturing support and inventory availability (652 Pcs in stock versus 972 Pcs for the obsolete MB7480-200). No electrical or mechanical redesign is required for substitution.
