Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MB7780-231 qualifies as a direct substitute for the MB7780-230 based on matching specifications across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts share identical frequency (42kHz), voltage rating (10 V ~ 32 V), beam angle (23°), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 65°C), and functional classification (Transmitter, Receiver). Both components are ROHS3 compliant and belong to the same 4-20SC-MaxSonar-WR series. The primary distinction is product status: MB7780-230 is obsolete while MB7780-231 is active, making the latter the recommended selection for new designs and replacement applications.
