Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MB7460-220 has one direct equivalent: MB7460-221. Substitution is valid based on the following criteria:

• Identical manufacturer (MaxBotix Inc.)
• Same series designation (4-20HR-MaxSonar-WR)
• Matching frequency specification (42kHz)
• Identical voltage rating (10 V ~ 32 V)
• Identical beam angle (23°)
• Identical operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 65°C)
• Identical component type (Transmitter, Receiver)
• Identical RoHS compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant)

The primary distinction is product status: MB7460-220 is obsolete while MB7460-221 is active, with MB7460-221 available in bulk packaging.
