Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MB7769-231 qualifies as a direct substitute for the MB7769-230 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 (4-20SC-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 The primary distinction is product status: MB7769-230 is obsolete while MB7769-231 is active.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MB7769-231 is the appropriate selection for applications currently using or specifying the MB7769-230. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical characteristics across the rated voltage and operating temperature ranges. The MB7769-231's active product status ensures ongoing availability and manufacturer support. For new designs or system replacements, the MB7769-231 should be specified to avoid obsolescence constraints.
