Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MB7460-101 qualifies as a direct substitute for the MB7460-100 based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution is valid when the following criteria are met:

• Frequency: 42kHz (identical)
• Voltage rating: 10 V ~ 32 V (identical)
• Beam angle: 11° (identical)
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 65°C (identical)
• Component type: Transmitter, Receiver (identical)
• Series designation: 4-20HR-MaxSonar-WR (identical)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (identical)

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and packaging configuration. The MB7460-100 is obsolete, while the MB7460-101 maintains active status with bulk packaging availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MB7460-101 is the appropriate substitute for the MB7460-100 in all applications requiring the 4-20HR-MaxSonar-WR ultrasonic sensor specifications. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical characteristics across the rated voltage and operating temperature ranges.

Selection of the MB7460-101 is supported by its active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability. The bulk packaging of the MB7460-101 accommodates both single-unit and volume procurement requirements.

No functional or electrical modifications are required when transitioning from MB7460-100 to MB7460-101 in existing designs or new implementations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MB7460-101 replace the MB7460-100 in existing applications?

A: Yes. The MB7460-101 provides identical electrical and mechanical performance. All parameters including frequency, voltage rating, beam angle, and operating temperature range are equivalent.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from MB7460-100 to MB7460-101?

A: The MB7460-100 is classified as obsolete. The MB7460-101 maintains active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both components are ROHS3 compliant with identical moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1 - Unlimited).

Q: Does packaging differ between these parts?

A: Yes. The MB7460-100 packaging is unspecified, while the MB7460-101 is supplied in bulk packaging. This distinction does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What parameters must remain identical for substitution validity?

A: Frequency (42kHz), voltage rating (10 V ~ 32 V), beam angle (11°), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 65°C), component type (Transmitter, Receiver), and series designation (4-20HR-MaxSonar-WR) must all match.
