SKY13588-460LF

SKY13588-460LF is Skyworks’ SPDT RF switch device used to route RF signals in wireless front-ends. It provides a single common port and two output paths, allowing switching between TX/RX or antenna paths in mobile/LTE/5G, Wi‑Fi/Bluetooth, GNSS, and other RF transceivers. The part is packaged lead-free (LF) in a compact form factor and designed for sub-6 GHz applications, with 50 Ω matched ports and characteristics suitable for low insertion loss, high isolation, and fast switching with a simple bias/control interface. The “460” indicates the specific variant/frequency band family, while “LF” denotes lead-free packaging. For exact electrical specs (frequency range, insertion loss, isolation, control voltages, power handling, and pinout), refer to the SKY13588-460LF datasheet and reference designs.

Direct one-to-one equivalents don’t exist; any substitute would be another RF switch/front-end module with similar specs. To cross-reference, compare: frequency range, insertion loss, isolation, number of ports, bias/control voltage, and package. Potential sources: Qorvo, Analog Devices, Broadcom (Avago), Murata, and other RF-switch vendors. Use Digi-Key/Mouser to filter “RF switch” in the same band and check datasheets for cross-reference or recommended replacements.
