Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MB7469-531 qualifies as a direct substitute for the MB7469-530 based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts share the same base product number (MB7469), series designation (4-20HR-MaxSonar-WR), operating frequency (42kHz), voltage rating (10 V ~ 32 V), beam angle (23°), temperature range (-40°C ~ 65°C), and functional type (Transmitter, Receiver). The critical substitution criteria are:

• Identical frequency specification (42kHz)
• Matching voltage operating range (10 V ~ 32 V)
• Identical beam angle (23°)
• Same temperature operating range (-40°C ~ 65°C)
• Equivalent RoHS3 compliance status

The primary distinction is product status: MB7469-530 is obsolete while MB7469-531 is active, and packaging differs (MB7469-530 is packaged as dash, MB7469-531 as bulk).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MB7469-531 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete MB7469-530. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications and mechanical parameters required for ultrasonic sensing applications. The MB7469-531 is recommended for new designs and ongoing procurement due to its active product status and continued availability. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting environmental regulatory requirements. The packaging difference (dash versus bulk) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility and represents a procurement consideration only.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MB7469-531 replace MB7469-530 in existing designs? A: Yes. The MB7469-531 is electrically and mechanically identical to the MB7469-530, with matching frequency (42kHz), voltage rating (10 V ~ 32 V), beam angle (23°), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 65°C). The only differences are product status and packaging format.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference? A: The MB7469-530 is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued production. The MB7469-531 maintains active status with ongoing manufacturing and availability. For new procurement and long-term supply chain planning, the MB7469-531 is the appropriate selection.

Q: Does packaging format affect component performance? A: No. The packaging difference between MB7469-530 (dash) and MB7469-531 (bulk) is a logistics and procurement consideration only. Both formats contain identical sensor elements with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. Both MB7469-530 and MB7469-531 carry ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting environmental and regulatory standards for electronic components.

Q: What parameters must remain identical for substitution? A: For ultrasonic sensors in this series, the critical parameters are frequency (42kHz), voltage rating (10 V ~ 32 V), beam angle (23°), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 65°C). All these parameters are identical between the two parts, confirming direct substitutability.
