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 The primary distinction is product status: MB7480-630 is obsolete while MB7480-631 is active.
