Lifecycle flag drives the BOM decision
The Siemens 1FK7080-5AF71-1GA2 is flagged EOL on the manufacturer's record, which is the single fact that changes how a procurement line is treated — the part is no longer a standard stocking buy and any future demand routes through the surplus/broker channel rather than the normal Siemens factory run.
Sourcing posture for an EOL Siemens servo
With set to eol_hot, the 1FK7080-5AF71-1GA2 is treated as a last-time-buy / surplus channel part — quoted to order against the BOM from independent stock, lot traceability confirmed per shipment, and no production-run commitment from the OEM. Buyers should anchor the RFQ on quantity, not lead-time promises, because the inventory pool is finite and variable.
