Teensy 4.1 with Ethernet PCB connections

We are using Teensy 4.1 boards with Ethernet in our product and are having difficulty finding/specifying appropriate headers.

We would like to make a teensy board with headers which could be: a) soldered directly onto the PCB (which has appropriate matching thru-hole positions); or b) plugged into headers so the teensy can be easily removed/swapped out during the development process.

Unfortunately the ethernet pins have a very different spacing than the other pins. Any recommendations for connectors/headers?

Both Digi-key and Mouser have a plethora of options (you can select tons of modfiers to find exactly what you’re after), we just have a few on our site

Actually they do not. Have spent quite a bit of time on this. The problem is that the stacking heights for the 2mm headers are different than for the 2.54mm headers. And in conjunction with the lengths on the male headers pins it is not clean at all.

Have cobbled something together but it’s counting on effectively a 1mm pin to female connection on the 2mm pitch connectors so looking for a better answer.

Note if I go to 27 week factory order times it’s easier :slight_smile:
