Epson FA06151 Printhead Key details

• Part family and usage: FA06151 is an Epson Advanced MicroPiezo TFP (Thin Film Piezo) printhead used in SureColor S-series printers, often paired with S30600/S30670/S40600/S50670/S70670 platforms. It is frequently listed as IA522V-13 or IA522V-15 in vendor listings, reflecting the same physical head with different internal firmware or packaging designations. This printhead is designed for solvent inks and high-speed, high-resolution printing, with multiple nozzle configurations that target wide-format applications.
• ​Core specifications (typical for this head family): 10 channels per head, 360 nozzles per head (per channel count typically around 3600 total nozzles across the head assembly), drop sizes in the 1.5–3.5 picoliter range with multi-drop-size capability, and operating frequencies up to about 50 kHz. These heads use a solvent-compatible ink delivery system and are designed for drop-on-demand printing.
• Common model mappings and replacements: FA06151 is commonly cited alongside FA06171 and FA06092 as part of the same generation lineage, with FA06092/FA06091/FA06070/FA06050/FA06171 often listed as compatible or superseded equivalents. Vendors frequently present IA522V-13, IA522V-15, or IA522V-17 as the equivalent head versions, indicating variations in packaging or minor firmware/coil configurations but the same core head technology.
