Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MB7480-500 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter alignment within the MaxBotix ultrasonic sensor portfolio. The MB7480-501 qualifies as a direct substitute because it maintains identical specifications across all critical parameters: 42kHz operating frequency, 10 V ~ 32 V rated voltage range, 23° beam angle, -40°C ~ 65°C operating temperature range, and ROHS3 compliance. Both parts belong to the same 4-20HR-MaxSonar-WR series and share the MB7480 base product number. The primary distinction is product status: MB7480-500 is obsolete while MB7480-501 is active, making the latter the recommended selection for new applications and ongoing inventory replenishment.

Parameter Comparison
