What this order code actually is
The ABB 1SAP180600R0001 is the TA524 terminal-base slot cover, a passive mechanical accessory whose job is to seal an unused slot on TB5xx, TB5xxx and TF5xxx terminal bases. It carries no electronics, no I/O and no supply terminals, so the BOM line is purely a cabinet-fitting and spares item. ABB lists the product main type as TA524 and the family context as Distributed Automation PLCs.
What the published ratings govern
Two numbers matter to the panel builder. The Degree of Protection is IP20, meaning the cover is rated for finger-safe access inside a closed cabinet — it is not a sealed front, and an installer should not expect it to keep dust or coolant out of an open panel slot. The Ambient Air Temperature is Operation 0... +60 °C, which matches the I/O range, so the cover does not introduce a new thermal envelope and does not need a derating line on the cabinet heat-budget calculation.
Compliance paper trail
ABB declares RoHS compliance under EU Directive 2011/65/EU including Amendment 2015/863 of 22 July 2019, and the REACH statement is filed as false for substances above 0.1 mass percent, with the declaration dated 20241206. The CN8 customs code listed on the line is 85389099, and the product is filed as not within WEEE scope — consistent with a passive plastic-and-metal cover that has no electronic assemblies to recover at end of life.
Lifecycle status is recorded as active, so the cover is specified into the BOM as a current-production ABB accessory rather than a phase-out item. Sourcing is handled quoted-to-order against an RFQ; there is no recorded successor, no PCN/EOL notice and no second-source cross-reference on the record, so a buyer should not assume a drop-in alternate exists — if the cabinet spec calls for a TA524, the TA524 is what should be ordered.
