FANUC teach pendants
The teach pendant is the robot's hand-held control: screen, keys, deadman switch and cable in one drop-prone unit. The catalogue names one pendant by number and stocks the family around it.
Teach pendants in the catalogue
The seller publishes a teach pendant family across both of its storefronts, and names one unit outright: the A05B-2256-C100 robot teach pendant. Pendants are A05B numbers, and the family page exists because pendant matching is a known trap: two pendants can share a shape and differ in connector, cable or the controller generation they pair with. The blog guide on matching a teach pendant works through the checks beyond the number itself.
A pendant failure is usually mechanical or cosmetic before it is electronic — a cracked screen, a dead key row, a cable damaged at the gland — which is why pendants are also a steady repair line as well as a shelf line.

What kills pendants
Drops, cable strain and screen damage account for most pendant failures, in that order. A pendant that works intermittently when its cable moves has a cable fault until proven otherwise, and that fault is repairable without replacing the unit. A pendant with a dead screen and a live keypad is a different repair from one that is dead entirely. Describing which of those the unit shows — screen, keys, cable, or everything — lets the first answer separate the repair routes from the replacement shelf.
Ordering a pendant
Quote the full A05B number from the pendant's label and the robot controller it plugs into. If the label is gone, the controller model and a description of the connector are the fallback keys. Used pendants carry the seller's condition words; screens are the point to ask about specifically, and the used parts page explains how condition is stated for shelf stock.
