What it is and sourcing posture
The AF2B-312-A22-772-0 is a current-production RB1000i-S-MC ASSY(7 Color) assembly, sourced from Japan. Its Part Type is listed as New, and the lifecycle stage is current, meaning it remains in active manufacture with no end-of-life notice on record. This part carries a WEEE Category of Product Not in WEEE Scope, so it falls outside the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment directive — no WEEE registration or recycling fee applies at end of life.
The manufacturer lists no Frame Size or additional compliance details (RoHS, REACH, UL, IEC) in the current record. For a BOM freeze or PCN watch, the active status means the standard brand documentation and certificate of origin (Japan) are available through the supply channel.
