Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MB7460-500 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Manufacturer and series consistency (MaxBotix Inc., 4-20HR-MaxSonar-WR)
• Operating frequency (42kHz)
• Voltage rating range (10 V ~ 32 V)
• Beam angle specification (23°)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 65°C)
• Functional type (Transmitter, Receiver)
• Regulatory compliance (ROHS3 Compliant, ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8543.70.4500)

The MB7460-501 meets all specified parameters and serves as a direct functional equivalent. The primary distinction is packaging configuration and product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MB7460-501 is the designated substitute for the obsolete MB7460-500. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The MB7460-501 carries active product status with current manufacturing support and inventory availability (715 Pcs in stock). Selection of the MB7460-501 ensures compliance with ROHS3 regulations and maintains full functional compatibility with existing circuit designs specified for the MB7460-500. Packaging differences (bulk versus standard) do not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MB7460-501 directly replace the MB7460-500 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (42kHz frequency, 10 V ~ 32 V voltage rating, 23° beam angle, -40°C ~ 65°C operating range) and functional classification (Transmitter, Receiver). No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The MB7460-500 is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing. The MB7460-501 maintains active status with ongoing production and supply chain availability, making it the appropriate selection for new designs and replacement applications.

Q: Does packaging configuration affect component selection?

A: Packaging differences (standard versus bulk) relate to order quantity and handling logistics only. Electrical and mechanical performance remain identical. Selection should be based on procurement requirements and inventory management practices.

Q: Are both components RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the MB7460-500 and MB7460-501 are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical regulatory classifications (ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8543.70.4500).

Q: What parameters must remain constant for substitution validity?

A: Frequency (42kHz), voltage rating (10 V ~ 32 V), beam angle (23°), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 65°C), and functional type (Transmitter, Receiver) must remain unchanged. Deviation in any of these parameters invalidates substitution.
