Webinar – Meet the LAN Squad: Defeating Ethernet Design Challenges

Designing a reliable Ethernet interface isn’t always straightforward. Every application—whether industrial, consumer, or automotive—comes with its own mix of size constraints, protection needs, and performance goals. To help engineers navigate these challenges, Samuel Lamprecht, Junior Product Manager and Lukas Weinstock, Product Manager with the Würth Elektronik engineering team dive into real‑world customer scenarios and show how the WE‑LAN product family solves common design obstacles.
In this session, attendees will explore how solutions like WE‑LAN, WE‑STST, and WE‑RJ45 LAN ICMs offer tailored advantages to enhance robustness, simplify layout decisions, and reduce overall system cost. You’ll also meet the “LAN Squad,” a lineup of components each bringing unique strengths—from compact footprints to superior symmetry and protection performance.
What You’ll Learn
- Optimize PCB space and reduce BOM cost using compact LAN transformer options.
- Improve insulation strength and confidently meet demanding surge requirements.
- Enhance signal integrity with components designed for better symmetry and lower insertion loss.
- Select the right LAN solution for your application based on performance, protection, and environmental needs.
Whether you're aiming to boost reliability, shrink your design, or streamline your bill of materials, this webinar will equip you with the insight needed to choose the ideal LAN component for any scenario.
