Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the MB7489-500 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Operating frequency: 42kHz
• Voltage rating: 10 V ~ 32 V
• Beam angle: 23°
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 65°C
• Functional type: Transmitter and Receiver
• Series classification: 4-20HR-MaxSonar-WR
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The MB7489-501 meets all these criteria and represents the active production equivalent within the same product series and base product family (MB7489).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MB7489-501 is the direct substitute for the MB7489-500. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the 4-20HR-MaxSonar-WR series. The primary distinction is product status: the MB7489-500 is obsolete while the MB7489-501 maintains active production status. For new designs and ongoing system support, the MB7489-501 is the appropriate selection. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and equivalent regulatory classification (ECCN: EAR99; HTSUS: 8543.70.4500).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MB7489-501 directly replace the MB7489-500 in existing applications?

A: Yes. The MB7489-501 provides identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility. Both operate at 42kHz with the same voltage range (10 V ~ 32 V), beam angle (23°), and temperature specifications (-40°C ~ 65°C).

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The MB7489-500 and MB7489-501 differ only in product status and packaging designation. The MB7489-500 is obsolete; the MB7489-501 is in active production. Packaging for the MB7489-501 is specified as Bulk.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance status and regulatory classifications (ECCN: EAR99; HTSUS: 8543.70.4500).

Q: Which part should be specified for new designs?

A: The MB7489-501 should be specified for all new designs and procurement activities, as it represents the active production equivalent within the MaxBotix 4-20HR-MaxSonar-WR series.
