Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MB7789-600 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications in the following areas:

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

The MB7789-601 meets all substitution criteria, sharing the same base product number (MB7789) and maintaining complete parameter alignment with the obsolete MB7789-600.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MB7789-601 is the direct equivalent for the obsolete MB7789-600. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8543.70.4500) classifications. The primary distinction is product status: MB7789-600 is obsolete while MB7789-601 is active. For new designs and system replacements, MB7789-601 is the appropriate selection. The active status of MB7789-601 ensures continued manufacturer support, availability, and compliance with current regulatory requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MB7789-601 directly replace MB7789-600 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The MB7789-601 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including frequency, voltage rating, beam angle, and operating temperature range. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between MB7789-600 and MB7789-601?

A: The components are electrically and mechanically equivalent. The primary difference is product status: MB7789-600 is obsolete while MB7789-601 is active. Packaging differs (MB7789-600 uses standard packaging while MB7789-601 is supplied in bulk), but functional specifications remain identical.

Q: Why is MB7789-600 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production of this specific part number. MB7789-601 serves as the active production equivalent, maintaining full specification alignment.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, ensuring equivalent regulatory status.

Q: What parameters determine substitution eligibility for ultrasonic sensors in this series?

A: Substitution requires matching frequency (42kHz), voltage rating (10 V ~ 32 V), beam angle (23°), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 65°C), functional type (Transmitter/Receiver), and RoHS compliance status.
