Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MB7489-630 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Frequency: 42kHz (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 10 V ~ 32 V (exact match required)
• Beam Angle: 23° (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 65°C (exact match required)
• Type: Transmitter and Receiver functionality (exact match required)
• Series: 4-20HR-MaxSonar-WR (same product family)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory requirement maintained)

The MB7489-631 meets all substitution criteria as an active equivalent part within the same manufacturer series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MB7489-631 is the direct equivalent for the obsolete MB7489-630. Both parts are manufactured by MaxBotix Inc. within the same 4-20HR-MaxSonar-WR series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The MB7489-631 maintains ROHS3 compliance and is currently in active production status, making it the appropriate choice for replacement applications. No functional or performance degradation occurs when substituting the MB7489-631 for the MB7489-630 in existing designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MB7489-631 be used as a direct replacement for the MB7489-630?

A: Yes. The MB7489-631 is a direct equivalent. Both parts operate at 42kHz, accept 10 V ~ 32 V input, maintain a 23° beam angle, and function across the identical -40°C ~ 65°C temperature range. The MB7489-631 is the active production equivalent of the obsolete MB7489-630.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?

A: The MB7489-630 is obsolete, while the MB7489-631 is in active production. Packaging differs (MB7489-630 uses standard packaging; MB7489-631 uses bulk packaging), but electrical and mechanical performance are identical.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when switching from MB7489-630 to MB7489-631?
