What this part is and where it fits
The 6ES7291-1AB30-0XA0 is a spare-parts set for the SIMATIC S7-1200 CPU 1214, containing four front flaps: the top front flap, bottom front flap, and signal board cover. These are the plastic hinged covers that seal the CPU front face — the top flap covers the display and memory card slot, the bottom flap covers the I/O terminals, and the signal board cover protects the SB slot on the left side of the CPU. Each package ships four units, enough to replace flaps on a single CPU 1214 plus one spare, or to service two CPUs with one flap each missing.
Lifecycle and sourcing reality
The packaging dimensions are 12.1 x 11.4 x 8.8 cm, a small box that fits easily into a standard spares cabinet or can be shipped alongside a CPU 1214 replacement without extra freight volume. RoHS compliance is confirmed; the REACH Article 33 declaration notes lead (CAS 7439-92-1) above 0.1% w/w, which is typical for the tin-lead solder on the PCB inside the CPU — the flaps themselves are molded plastic with no metallic content, so this is a legacy declaration carried forward from the CPU assembly.
What the group code and product class tell a buyer
Group Code R132 and Product Group 4507 are Siemens internal classification fields — R132 maps to the S7-1200 accessory family, and 4507 is the broader PLC I/O & Expansion Modules category. Product class A means this is a standard stock item eligible for return within the standard returns window — useful if you over-order for a project and need to send unopened packs back.
