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The primary distinction is product status: MB7489-720 is obsolete while MB7489-721 is active, with packaging differences (MB7489-720 standard vs. MB7489-721 bulk).
