Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MB7489-221 qualifies as a direct substitute for the MB7489-220 based on matching electrical and mechanical specifications. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following parameters:

• Identical frequency: 42kHz
• Identical voltage rating: 10V ~ 32V
• Identical beam angle: 23°
• Identical operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 65°C
• Identical type classification: Transmitter, Receiver
• Identical series designation: 4-20HR-MaxSonar-WR
• Identical RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The primary distinction between these parts is product status: MB7489-220 is obsolete while MB7489-221 is active, making the latter the recommended procurement choice for new designs and replacements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations
