Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MB7789-501 qualifies as a direct substitute for the MB7789-500 based on the following matching parameters:

• Identical frequency specification: 42kHz
• Identical voltage rating: 10V ~ 32V
• Identical beam angle: 23°
• Identical operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 65°C (TA)
• Identical component type: Transmitter, Receiver
• Same series designation: 4-20SC-MaxSonar-WR
• Identical RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Same manufacturer: MaxBotix Inc.

The primary distinction is product status: MB7789-500 is obsolete while MB7789-501 is active, with packaging differentiation (MB7789-501 supplied in Bulk format).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MB7789-501 is the direct functional equivalent for MB7789-500 applications. All critical electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, including frequency, voltage rating, beam angle, and operating temperature range. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical series designation.

Selection of MB7789-501 is supported by its active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability. The obsolete classification of MB7789-500 necessitates transition to MB7789-501 for new designs and ongoing system support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MB7789-501 directly replace MB7789-500 in existing designs?

A: Yes. All electrical parameters (frequency, voltage rating, operating temperature) and mechanical specifications (beam angle, type) are identical between the two parts. Both are from the same 4-20SC-MaxSonar-WR series.

Q: What is the primary difference between MB7789-500 and MB7789-501?

A: Product status and packaging. MB7789-500 is obsolete while MB7789-501 is active. MB7789-501 is supplied in Bulk packaging format.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance status and share the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8543.70.4500) classifications.

Q: What parameters determine substitution eligibility for this ultrasonic sensor?

A: Frequency (42kHz), voltage rating (10V ~ 32V), beam angle (23°), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 65°C), component type (Transmitter, Receiver), and series designation (4-20SC-MaxSonar-WR) must remain constant for functional equivalence.

Q: Is MB7789-501 available in different packaging options?

A: MB7789-501 is specified as Bulk packaging. Packaging requirements should be confirmed against application assembly processes.
