Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MB7460-731 qualifies as a direct substitute for the MB7460-730 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 The primary distinction is product status: MB7460-730 is obsolete while MB7460-731 is active.

Parameter Comparison
