Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MB7460-531 qualifies as a direct substitute for the MB7460-530 based on the following criteria:

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

The substitution is valid across all electrical and mechanical parameters specified for this product category. The primary distinction is product status: MB7460-530 is obsolete while MB7460-531 is active.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications currently using the MB7460-530, transition to the MB7460-531. Both components maintain identical electrical performance specifications and thermal operating ranges. The MB7460-531 is the active production equivalent with current inventory availability. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance certification and share the same base product number (MB7460), confirming functional equivalence. Selection of the MB7460-531 ensures access to current manufacturing support and supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MB7460-531 replace MB7460-530 in existing designs? A: Yes. The MB7460-531 is electrically and mechanically identical to the MB7460-530 across all specified parameters: frequency, voltage rating, beam angle, operating temperature, and functional type. Direct substitution is valid.

Q: What is the difference between MB7460-530 and MB7460-531? A: The MB7460-530 is obsolete while MB7460-531 is active production. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical. The packaging designation differs (- versus Bulk), but this reflects inventory classification rather than component differences.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts? A: No. Both the MB7460-530 and MB7460-531 carry identical ROHS3 compliance certification and share the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8543.70.4500) classifications.

Q: What parameters determine substitution validity for this sensor? A: Substitution validity is determined by matching frequency (42kHz), voltage rating (10 V ~ 32 V), beam angle (23°), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 65°C), and functional type (Transmitter, Receiver). Both parts meet all these criteria.

Q: Is the MB7460-531 available in the same packaging as MB7460-530? A: The MB7460-531 is specified as Bulk packaging. The MB7460-530 packaging designation is not specified in available data. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement process.
