Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MB7460-721 qualifies as a direct substitute for the MB7460-720 based on matching specifications across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts share identical frequency (42kHz), voltage rating (10 V ~ 32 V), beam angle (23°), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 65°C), and functional type (Transmitter, Receiver). Both components belong to the same 4-20HR-MaxSonar-WR series and maintain ROHS3 compliance. The primary distinction is product status: MB7460-720 is obsolete while MB7460-721 is active, making the latter the recommended selection for new designs and ongoing production.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MB7460-721 is the appropriate selection for applications currently using or specifying the MB7460-720. Both components maintain identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility. The MB7460-721 offers the advantage of active product status with current manufacturing support and inventory availability. For systems in production or undergoing redesign, transition to the MB7460-721 eliminates obsolescence risk while preserving full functional equivalence. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical regulatory classifications (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8543.70.4500).
