What this part is
The A05B-2301 series is FANUC’s standard teach pendant — the handheld with the deadman switch, E-stop and menu keys that you jog and program a robot with. It spans the R-J3, R-J3iB and R-30iA controller generations. The C315 suffix identifies one specific display and option build inside that series.
Confirm the suffix against your controller. Do not assume.
Published references disagree on whether C315 is the monochrome or the colour build, and we are not going to pick the flattering answer and print it as a spec. What matters more than the display anyway is that FANUC pendants are matched to a controller generation and often to a software option set — a pendant that is physically identical can refuse to come up, or come up with the wrong function keys, on the wrong controller.
Before you order, have these three ready and send them over:
- your controller model (R-J3, R-J3iB, R-30iA …)
- the A05B part number printed on the pendant you are replacing, not the robot’s number
- your software series and edition from the controller status screen
We will confirm against the label on the actual unit before it ships. That is a two-minute check that prevents the most common failure in this market, which is a correct-looking pendant that will not talk to the controller it arrived for.
Why buying the pendant is usually the right call
A dead pendant stops a robot cell completely — you cannot jog, you cannot recover a fault, you cannot re-teach a point. The cable and the strain relief at the connector are what usually go, followed by the E-stop and deadman switches, which are safety-rated parts and not something to bodge. Replacing the whole pendant with a known OEM unit is faster than a repair and leaves the safety circuit as FANUC certified it.

Questions buyers ask about this pendant
Will this fit my controller?
The A05B-2301 series spans the R-J3, R-J3iB and R-30iA controller generations, and the C315 suffix identifies one specific display and option build inside that series. Send us your controller model, the A05B part number printed on the pendant you are replacing rather than the robot’s number, and your software series and edition from the controller status screen. We confirm against the label on the actual unit before it ships.
Is the display colour or monochrome?
Published references disagree on that for the C315 build, and we are not going to pick the flattering answer and print it as a spec. Ask and we will photograph the actual unit. What matters more than the display anyway is the controller match: a pendant that is physically identical can refuse to come up, or come up with the wrong function keys, on the wrong controller.
What condition is it in, and does it carry a warranty?
The listing describes it as genuine OEM, new open box and fully tested, from Japan, and that is what we are repeating. It states no warranty term, so nothing here claims one. Ask us and we will tell you what coverage, if any, we can put in writing on this unit.
Is it worth replacing the whole pendant rather than repairing one?
Usually, yes. A dead pendant stops a robot cell completely — you cannot jog, recover a fault or re-teach a point. What normally fails is the cable and the strain relief at the connector, followed by the E-stop and deadman switches, which are safety-rated parts and not something to bodge. A known OEM unit is faster than a repair and leaves the safety circuit as FANUC certified it.
