Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MB7480-521 qualifies as a direct substitute for the MB7480-520 based on matching electrical and mechanical parameters. Both components share identical specifications across all critical substitution criteria: 42kHz operating frequency, 10V to 32V voltage rating, 23° beam angle, -40°C to 65°C temperature range, and transmitter/receiver functionality. Both parts belong to the same 4-20HR-MaxSonar-WR series and maintain ROHS3 compliance. The primary distinction is product status: MB7480-520 is Obsolete while MB7480-521 is Active, making the latter the recommended procurement choice for new designs and ongoing supply requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MB7480-521 is the direct equivalent for MB7480-520 applications. Both components maintain identical electrical performance, mechanical specifications, and regulatory compliance. The MB7480-521 is the preferred selection due to its Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support. For systems currently using MB7480-520, direct substitution with MB7480-521 requires no circuit modifications or design changes. Packaging differences (MB7480-520 standard vs. MB7480-521 Bulk) do not affect functional compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MB7480-521 replace MB7480-520 in existing designs? A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including frequency, voltage rating, beam angle, and temperature range. Direct substitution is possible without circuit modifications.

Q: What is the primary reason to switch from MB7480-520 to MB7480-521? A: MB7480-520 is Obsolete, while MB7480-521 is Active. Transitioning to MB7480-521 ensures long-term component availability and manufacturer support.

Q: Are there packaging considerations for substitution? A: MB7480-520 uses standard packaging while MB7480-521 is supplied in Bulk packaging. This difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards? A: Yes. Both MB7480-520 and MB7480-521 are ROHS3 Compliant with identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Q: What are the critical parameters for ultrasonic sensor substitution? A: Operating frequency (42kHz), voltage rating (10V ~ 32V), beam angle (23°), temperature range (-40°C ~ 65°C), and functional type (Transmitter/Receiver) must match for direct substitution.
