Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MB7789-620 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter alignment within the MaxBotix 4-20SC-MaxSonar-WR series. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications across the following critical parameters:

  • Operating frequency: 42kHz
  • Voltage rating: 10 V ~ 32 V
  • Beam angle: 23°
  • Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 65°C
  • Functional type: Transmitter and Receiver
  • Series designation: 4-20SC-MaxSonar-WR
  • RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The MB7789-621 meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product, providing continuity for applications currently using the obsolete MB7789-620.
