EOL hot and what it does to the BOM line
The 1FK7042-5AK71-1FA0: EOL hot on a Siemens servo motor is the run-down phase: the factory is winding down production and allocations are tightening while stock is still being drawn — a new design should pick a current-production 1FK7 successor, but a maintenance spare or a one-for-one swap on an existing machine can still be sourced through independent channels, with availability and pricing confirmed at quote time.
