Lifecycle: why the EOL flag drives the BOM decision
The lifecycle record for 1FK7040-5AK71-1DA0 is flagged EOL hot, which on a Siemens motion product means the variant is in last-time-buy territory — production windows have narrowed and remaining inventory moves through the independent channel rather than the standard factory-direct line. For a service spare or a planned retrofit, that's the signal to lock down stock against an RFQ rather than assume a future reorder will land at standard lead time. Confirm the engineering data sheet against the original BOM line before committing to a like-for-like quote.
