Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MB7489-721 qualifies as a direct substitute for the MB7489-720 based on matching electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution is determined by the following criteria:

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

The primary distinction is product status: MB7489-720 is obsolete while MB7489-721 is active, with packaging differences (MB7489-720 standard vs. MB7489-721 bulk).
