Announcement regarding Phasing Out and Last Buy Notification for COMBIFLEX Auxiliary Relays (as per list appended) by ABB Substation Automation Products Dear Customer, This letter serves to notify you that in accordance with ABB s Product Lifecycle Policy (PLC), the COMBIFLEX Auxiliary Relays as per the list appended, from ABB Substation Automation Products, Sweden are as of July 1, 2009 transferred from the Active Phase to the Restricted Phase. Entering the Restricted Phase of the ABB s PLC means that relays will only be made available for extensions of existing systems. Consequently during this phase, the price of the products will increase due to the smaller volumes and rising component prices from sub-suppliers. Additionally, delivery times for these products may be longer as production quantities get smaller. The Legacy Phase for these auxiliary relays will commence on July 1, 2010 and means that the regular manufacturing of the product will cease on this date. ABB will support the installed base with spare parts and repair for as long as components remain available. This letter also serves as the 'Last Buy Notification' for these relays. All requests for orders for these relays intended for extensions of existing installations, being received by ABB on or before March 31, 2010 and scheduled for delivery on or before July 1, 2010 will be processed in the usual way. Orders received after this date or scheduled for later delivery may have to be rejected to ensure availability of spare parts for the installed base. Products affected by this information are listed in the annexure appended.
