Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SE2605L-R is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Frequency range: 2.4GHz ~ 2.5GHz
• Output power (P1dB): 32dBm
• Gain: 33dB
• RF type classification: WLAN
• Supply voltage: 5V
• Supply current: 650mA
• Package type: 16-VFQFN Exposed Pad (3x3mm)
• Mounting configuration: Surface Mount
• Environmental compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 3 (168 Hours)

The SE2605L-RN meets all these criteria and shares the same base product number (SE2605) within the Skyworks Solutions product family, confirming functional and electrical equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SE2605L-RN is the direct equivalent substitute for the SE2605L-R. Both components are manufactured by Skyworks Solutions Inc. and share identical electrical specifications, frequency response, output power characteristics, and physical packaging. The primary distinction is product status: the SE2605L-R is obsolete while the SE2605L-RN maintains active production status.

For new designs or system replacements, the SE2605L-RN is the appropriate selection. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical moisture sensitivity classifications, ensuring compatibility with current manufacturing and environmental standards. The active production status of the SE2605L-RN provides supply chain continuity and long-term availability assurance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SE2605L-RN directly replace the SE2605L-R in existing designs?

A: Yes. The SE2605L-RN is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the SE2605L-R. All critical parameters including frequency range, output power, gain, supply voltage, current consumption, and package configuration are identical. Direct substitution is supported without circuit modification.

Q: What is the difference between SE2605L-R and SE2605L-RN?

A: The components are functionally identical. The primary difference is product lifecycle status: SE2605L-R is obsolete, while SE2605L-RN is in active production. Both share the same base product number (SE2605) and are manufactured by Skyworks Solutions Inc.

Q: Are there any package or pinout differences between these parts?

A: No. Both the SE2605L-R and SE2605L-RN use the 16-VFQFN Exposed Pad package (3x3mm) with identical pinout and surface mount configuration. PCB layout and footprint compatibility is maintained.

Q: Do both parts meet the same environmental and compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and classified as Moisture Sensitivity Level 3 (168 Hours). Environmental handling, storage, and reflow requirements are identical.

Q: Why should I use SE2605L-RN instead of SE2605L-R?

A: The SE2605L-R is obsolete and subject to supply discontinuation. The SE2605L-RN provides equivalent performance with active production status, ensuring reliable component availability for current and future procurement.
