What it is and where it lands
Lifecycle stage on record is current, so this code is on an active BOM line with no last-time-buy window on file. Procurement quotes R60DA16-G against the active channel rather than pivoting to surplus.
Channel-count decision vs the 8-channel sibling
The closest functional second-source inside the same family is the R60DA8-G, which is the 8-channel output version of this slice. It carries the same voltage-inverter classification but halves the channel count, so the swap only fits a panel whose actuator count was sized to eight loops — anything specced around sixteen analog outputs needs the R60DA16-G, not the R60DA8-G.
Sourcing posture
With lifecycle stage current on file, the procurement move is to quote this code against an RFQ on the active channel rather than pivot to a broker or surplus route. No official successor order code is recorded for this part, so the buyer's spec stays locked to R60DA16-G until the line itself changes.
