Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MB7480-731 qualifies as a direct substitute for the MB7480-730 based on the following criteria:

• Identical frequency specification (42kHz)
• Matching voltage rating (10 V ~ 32 V)
• Identical beam angle (23°)
• Matching operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 65°C)
• Same functional type (Transmitter, Receiver)
• Same series designation (4-20HR-MaxSonar-WR)
• Equivalent RoHS3 compliance status

The primary distinction is product status: MB7480-730 is obsolete while MB7480-731 is active, with higher current inventory availability (1053 Pcs vs. 689 Pcs).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications currently using MB7480-730, the MB7480-731 provides direct functional equivalence with no parameter deviations. Selection of MB7480-731 is supported by:

• Active product status ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Identical electrical specifications eliminating circuit redesign requirements
• Matching mechanical specifications (beam angle, frequency) preserving system performance characteristics
• ROHS3 compliance maintained across both variants
• Higher inventory availability (1053 Pcs) reducing procurement lead times

The obsolete status of MB7480-730 makes MB7480-731 the appropriate selection for new designs and component replacement scenarios.
