Industrial Robot Spare Parts Identification & Lookup Guide
Find ABB robot spare parts by part number series such as 3HAC and DSQC. This page helps you quickly identify compatible components including servo motors, drive units, teach pendants, and control boards.
If you already have a part number, browse by series below or search directly.
1. What Is an ABB Part Number?
An ABB part number is a unique identifier assigned to each hardware component produced by ABB.
Typical prefixes include:
- 3HAC - Mechanical assemblies, cables, motors, and harnesses
- DSQC - Controller electronics and boards
- 3HNA / 3HNE - Operator interfaces and accessories
These identifiers are essential for:
Function Identification
Determining whether a component is a CPU board, servo module, cable harness, or I/O unit.
System Compatibility
Matching the part to the correct robot controller generation (IRC5, OmniCore, S4C, etc.).
Revision Tracking
Understanding hardware version changes, such as suffix differences (-001 vs -002).
2. Search ABB Part Numbers by Robot Controller Generation
Not sure about the exact part number? Start with your robot's generation to narrow down the index:
- ABB IRC5 Index: Focus on 3HAC02xxxxseries and DSQC 600-1000 series boards.
- ABB S4C / S4C+ Index: Focus on DSQC 500series boards and M2000 drive units.
- ABB S4 / M94-M98 Index: Focus on legacy DSQC 300 series and S3 system components.
3. ABB Part Number Categories
To make navigation easier, ABB part numbers are organized into practical categories based on real maintenance and purchasing scenarios.
1. Teach Pendant & Accessories
Parts related to robot operation and programming, including:
- Core Numbers: 3HAC028357-001 (DSQC 679 FlexPendant board), 3HNA012283-001 pendant cable assemblies, 3HNE124-1.
- Includes: FlexPendants, Teach pendant cables, protective bumpers and interface parts.
2. Robot Cables & Harnesses
Cables used for power, signal, and motion control, such as:
- Core Numbers: 3HAC040447-001, 3HAC031683-001.
- Includes: CP/CS/CBUS cables, motor power cables, and encoder signal cables.
- For compatibility and specifications, see our Robot Cable Part Numbers
3. Controller Boards & DSQC Modules
The "brains" of the robot. ABB official documentation often lacks clear explanations of board cross-compatibility.
- Core Numbers: DSQC 639, DSQC 540, DSQC 325, DSQC 601, DSQC Board Series
-
Includes: Main CPUs, I/O modules, and serial measurement boards.
4. Servo Drives & Motors
The muscles of the robot.
- Core Numbers: 3HAC16831-1, DSQC 346, 3HAC025338-001.
-
Includes: Drive units (Single/Multi-move), rectifiers, and servo motors.
4. Discontinued ABB Part & Smart Replacements
Many ABB part numbers are now "Legacy" or "Discontinued," but that doesn't mean your robot must be retired. Our index helps you bridge the gap by identifying:
- Functional Equivalents: Which new DSQC board can replace your old one.
- Version Upgrades: When a -002 part can safely replace a -001.
- Refurbishment Options: Certified tested alternatives for phased-out 3HAC components.
Many discontinued ABB parts are still available as tested refurbished or compatible replacements, enabling fast maintenance recovery and reduced downtime.

FAQ: Identifying ABB Part Numbers
Q: Where is the part number located on ABB hardware?
A: Look for a silver or white sticker. Most electronic parts start with "DSQC" followed by a 3-digit number. Mechanical and cable assemblies usually start with "3HAC" or "3HNE".
Q: Does the suffix (e.g., -001 vs -002) matter?
A: Yes. In ABB robotics, the suffix often indicates a specific hardware revision or firmware compatibility. Always verify the full number before purchasing.
Q: I can't find my part number in your index, what should I do?
A: ABB has released tens of thousands of codes over 40 years. If your specific code isn't listed, contact our technical teamwe can often cross-reference it to a modern replacement.
