Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MB7489-530 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Frequency: 42kHz (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 10V ~ 32V (exact match required)
• Beam Angle: 23° (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 65°C (exact match required)
• Type Configuration: Transmitter and Receiver (exact match required)
• Series: 4-20HR-MaxSonar-WR (exact match required)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)

The MB7489-531 meets all substitution criteria as an active product within the same series with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations
