MB7789-200 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MB7789-200 is an ultrasonic sensor from the 4-20SC-MaxSonar-WR series manufactured by MaxBotix Inc. This component operates at 42kHz and functions as both a transmitter and receiver for distance measurement applications. The MB7789-200 is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing system support and new designs. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical characteristics, mechanical compatibility, and performance specifications to ensure seamless integration into existing or new applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MB7789-200 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, Receiver (exact match required)
• Series: 4-20SC-MaxSonar-WR (same product family)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory requirement maintained)

The MB7789-201 meets all substitution criteria as an active product within the same series, maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering current availability and manufacturing support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MB7789-201 is the direct substitute for the MB7789-200. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is product status: the MB7789-200 is obsolete while the MB7789-201 is active. For new designs or system replacements, the MB7789-201 should be selected to ensure continued manufacturing support, availability, and compliance with current regulatory requirements. Both parts are suitable for applications requiring 42kHz ultrasonic sensing with 10 V ~ 32 V operation across the -40°C ~ 65°C temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MB7789-201 replace the MB7789-200 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The MB7789-201 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the MB7789-200. All critical parameters—frequency, voltage rating, beam angle, operating temperature, and functional type—are identical. The MB7789-201 is the active product variant within the same series.

Q: What is the difference between MB7789-200 and MB7789-201?

A: The MB7789-200 is obsolete; the MB7789-201 is active. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical. The difference is product lifecycle status and manufacturing availability.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The MB7789-200 packaging is listed as "-" (unspecified). The MB7789-201 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your application before procurement.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both the MB7789-200 and MB7789-201 are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What are the critical parameters for substitution?

A: Substitution is valid only when frequency (42kHz), voltage rating (10 V ~ 32 V), beam angle (23°), operating temperature (-40°C ~ 65°C), and functional type (Transmitter, Receiver) are identical across parts.
