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The primary distinction is product status: MB7480-730 is obsolete while MB7480-731 is active, with higher current inventory availability (1053 Pcs vs. 689 Pcs).

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.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MB7480-731 replace MB7480-730 in existing applications?
