Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MB7460-701 qualifies as a direct substitute for the MB7460-700 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 The primary distinction is product status: MB7460-700 is obsolete while MB7460-701 is active.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MB7460-701 is the appropriate selection for applications currently using or specifying the MB7460-700. Both components maintain identical electrical performance across the rated voltage range (10 V ~ 32 V) and frequency specification (42kHz). The MB7460-701 carries active product status with current manufacturing support, whereas the MB7460-700 is obsolete. Both components satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements. For new designs and ongoing procurement, the MB7460-701 is the standard choice due to its active status and equivalent technical specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MB7460-701 replace MB7460-700 in existing applications?

A: Yes. The MB7460-701 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications: 42kHz frequency, 10 V ~ 32 V voltage rating, 23° beam angle, and -40°C ~ 65°C operating temperature range. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from MB7460-700 to MB7460-701?

A: The MB7460-700 is classified as obsolete. The MB7460-701 is the active equivalent, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The MB7460-700 packaging is unspecified in available documentation. The MB7460-701 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specification.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the MB7460-700 and MB7460-701 are ROHS3 compliant and carry the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8543.70.4500) classifications.

Q: Are there any functional differences between these ultrasonic sensors?

A: No. Both components function identically as 42kHz transmitter-receiver units within the 4-20HR-MaxSonar-WR series. Substitution is direct with no performance variation.
