What an EOL-hot servo motor means for the BOM line
The 1FK7042-5AF71-1EG0: Because the original Siemens production run has closed, nameplate vs PO trace becomes the load-bearing QC step — the declaration pack that accompanies the motor has to reconcile the serial number on the motor face with the lot on the invoice before it goes into a build that is destined for an end-client audit, and any compliance doc the customer asks for (RoHS, REACH, UL, IEC) needs to be sourced from the independent channel at the same time as the hardware.
Sourcing posture for an obsolete compact servo
Quoted to order against the BOM from independent distribution: no stock count, no ship date, and no price quoted on this page — those answers are returned against an RFQ after the channel confirms whether the lot is traceable surplus, factory-overrun, or broker stock, because the eol_hot stage means the same order code can land any of those three ways depending on which independent line carries it.
