Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MB7480-631 qualifies as a direct substitute for the MB7480-630 based on the following criteria:

• Identical frequency specification (42kHz)
• Matching voltage rating (10 V ~ 32 V)
• Identical beam angle (23°)
• Identical operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 65°C)
• Same functional type (Transmitter, Receiver)
• Same series designation (4-20HR-MaxSonar-WR)
• Equivalent RoHS compliance (ROHS3)

The substitution is valid across all electrical and mechanical parameters specified for this product category. The primary distinction is product status: MB7480-630 is obsolete while MB7480-631 is active.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MB7480-631 is the appropriate selection for applications currently using or specifying the MB7480-630. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical characteristics. The MB7480-631 offers the advantage of active product status with current manufacturing support and inventory availability. For new designs or system refreshes, the MB7480-631 should be specified to ensure long-term component availability and supply chain continuity.
