What EOL hot means for the BOM line
The 1FK7061-4CH71-1PG2: Lifecycle stage is recorded as eol_hot, which signals that production is winding down but the part is still on the active sourcing map — order codes that name a 1FK7 frame of this size become a last-time-buy watch the moment the BMK list refreshes, so a panel builder that has a multi-year line contract should be locking the BOM now rather than at install time. Sourcing posture for an eol_hot servo frame is the independent channel: new-surplus pulls, factory-reseal lots, and broker trace rather than a fresh factory shipment, and each RFQ response should be evaluated on trace paperwork and the encoder option encoded in the dash positions — not a generic stock figure.
Sourcing this code against an RFQ
Quoted to order through independent distribution: pricing and current lot availability are confirmed at RFQ, with the encoder configuration and shaft detail read off the nameplate on every pull to make sure the dash positions match the cabinet drawing before the unit ships to a line that's already down.
