Lifecycle read — eol_hot means the channel has shifted
The 1FK7042-5AF71-1SB0: The ledger carries = eol_hot, so this code is no longer on the standard factory-active channel and is now sourced through independent distribution against an RFQ — quoted to order, not pulled off a stocked shelf.
Buying this code in practice
With an eol_hot status and no factory-direct stock claim on the table, the realistic procurement path is a quoted-to-order RFQ against the BOM quantity — availability, condition (new-surplus vs. pulled from a decommissioned line), and current pricing are all confirmed at quote time.
