EOL/Hot — read this before you spec it
The 1FK7032-5AK71-1TH0: For a buyer, that translates into two operational realities: the BOM line is not drop-in replaceable by a current-production successor on the same order code, and every quote against this string is lot-dependent — quantity, date code, and traceability are confirmed at RFQ rather than off a price sheet.
Sourcing posture for an EOL servo
Stock is broker-held: when the line is down, the path is an RFQ to independent distribution with the quantity and the date-code window you can accept — pricing and lead time are returned against that RFQ rather than against a published price/availability pair (C1).
