Arduino MKR ETH Ethernet Shield

The Arduino MKR ETH Shield provides a simple and reliable method to add wired Ethernet connectivity to any MKR-family development board. It is the perfect solution for projects that require a stable internet connection in environments where Wi-Fi is unavailable, unreliable, or impractical. This shield uses the robust Wiznet W5500 Ethernet controller, offering a proven and efficient network interface for embedded applications.

Designed for seamless integration, the shield connects to your MKR board via the standardised headers, requiring no complex wiring. It operates on a 5V input voltage and communicates with the host microcontroller through a high-speed SPI interface, ensuring minimal impact on your project's core processing tasks. With a typical power consumption of 130mA, it is an efficient choice for connected devices.

The compact and lightweight design, weighing just 15.3 grams, makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, from industrial monitoring and data logging to smart home automation and educational projects. Its reliability makes it ideal for creating IoT gateways, network-connected sensors, or any device that needs to send or receive data over a local area network or the internet.
