What this line card entry covers
The ABB 3AXD50000158898 sits in the PLC Expansion Modules category under PLCs & HMIs, cataloged against the ABB brand with a listed weight of 0.77 kgs. For a controls integrator staging a BOM freeze, that places the part squarely in the family of ABB PLC backplane-adjacent modules rather than drives, HMIs, or I/O cards from other lines. The order code is the clean identifier to quote on the PO; no alternate family string should travel with it. Three peer order codes sit in the same PLC Expansion Modules bucket — 3BSE021443R1 at 0.66 kgs, 3BSE018161R1 at 0.54 kgs, and 3BSE018114R1 at 1.13 kgs — which is the usual pool a strategic sourcing lead or second-source gate cross-checks before signing off on a sole-source line.
Sourcing posture and what the BOM line actually needs
No lifecycle status entry is on file for this order code, so production state is not stated here — neither active nor obsolete is asserted. The honest move is to quote against the RFQ and let the supply channel confirm current availability; for the panel-builder under a freeze date that means specifying 3AXD50000158898 verbatim on the BOM and leaving substitution to a documented engineering change, not a desk-side guess.
