Ethernet MagJack should be changed
mebs opened this issue · comments
The current ethernet jack the board expects is this one: https://www.digikey.ca/en/products/detail/bel-fuse-inc/0826-1G1T-43-F/2107992
There are a couple issues with it:
- It's expensive (costs more than a PCB)
- It's not available on LCSC and certainly not for PCB assembly on JLC
Should be changed for another ethernet jack with magnetics that would be cheaper and available for PCB assembly.
hey mebs,
I changed the MagJack, if you like to view, and I also did some minor changes to the length of some traces

Thank you @terramande! Did you do that through a pull request? I don't see any.

no don't know how and I ask if you interested ;-)
i made a fork, I don't know how to make a pull request :-)
i also change the dimension of the board a little for the magjack
- try to route the signals for the ethernet the same length
- also try to make all other differential pairs the same length
