This Panasonic RCG card is a replacement spare for AI and SMT production equipment, supplied for machines already in service rather than for new builds. It belongs to the family of cards fitted inside Panasonic AI and SMT platforms, and it is ordered by number rather than by appearance, because the number is what ties a card to a specific machine and position. Buyers are usually maintenance engineers, procurement staff and repair technicians at PCB assembly plants, EMS providers, repair workshops and SMT pick and place machine manufacturers that hold their own service stock. Cards and boards sit among the SMT components replaced most often during a machine's working life, so they are normally handled as a complete unit swap rather than repaired at the bench. Where a label is worn or a machine has been rebuilt, our team will still confirm the match before you order.

Unplanned downtime is the most common reason this card is ordered: a machine stops mid-run, the maintenance team traces the fault to the card, and a like-for-like replacement is needed fast to get the line back on schedule. Planned maintenance is the second, with cards changed during shutdowns and quiet shifts when there is time to test before production restarts. Refurbishment is the third: pick and place machine manufacturers and dealers who rebuild or redeploy used Panasonic machines need the electronics brought back to a known state before the machine is sold on. Multi-line plants also keep a card or two in stores so a single failure does not stop the whole shop, and independent repair companies order on behalf of customers who cannot take a machine out of service for a long sourcing cycle.
ZJ-SMT supplies Panasonic SMT and PCB assembly equipment and spare parts to manufacturers worldwide. Our range covers pick-and-place machines, axial and radial insertion equipment, solder paste inspection systems, and feeder spare parts, with both new and used options available. We support bulk orders, and machine condition and availability are confirmed with you before ordering. Whether you are expanding a line, replacing a worn feeder part, or sourcing equipment for a new project, send us your model numbers and our team will come back with a suitable solution and quotation.
It is a direct replacement for the card carrying the same number in your machine, not a substitute for a different board. Fitting is a straight swap: the failed card comes out and the replacement goes into the same mounting, so nothing else on the machine has to be changed or adjusted.
Send us the number printed on the card you are replacing together with your machine model. Our team checks both against our part-number records and current stock, then confirms the number we will supply so you can hold it against the machine's own parts list. It is worth doing before the order is placed rather than after the card arrives.
The card is supplied as a complete unit, so there is no need to move anything across from the failed board. That keeps the swap to a straight remove-and-fit job and avoids handling parts that may already have been affected by the original fault.
Send it through anyway. The website shows only part of what we carry, and machine builders sometimes update a part number during a product's life. Give us the old number and your machine model, and we will tell you whether the card is still available under that number, whether a newer number has taken its place, or whether we can source it for you.
Yes. Alongside cards like this one we carry spare SMT components for Panasonic AI and SMT equipment, including feeders, nozzles, valves, motors and boards, plus compatible components from other makers where they are used on those platforms. Only part of the range is published here, so PCB assembly plants, EMS providers and SMT pick and place machine manufacturers send the part number and machine model they are working on and we check the rest.
Keep it sealed in its protective packing inside a dry, dust-free cabinet, away from heaters, windows and damp areas. Static is the biggest risk to a stored board, so handle the card only when you are ready to fit it, and never leave it loose on a bench or in a tool drawer. If a card has been in storage for a long time, inspect the packing for moisture or damage before it goes into a machine.
