The W5200 Ethernet Shield adds wired internet connectivity to your Arduino. Simply stack it onto your board, connect an RJ45 cable, and start communicating over the network. The W5200 controller provides a 32 KB internal buffer — double that of the W5100 — and supports up to eight simultaneous TCP/UDP connections.
An on-board microSD card slot allows file storage for serving data over the network. The lowered RJ45 jack and long wire-wrap headers ensure compatibility with additional shields stacked on top. The shield connects to Arduino via SPI.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- Headers
- Rows of metal pins used to plug a module into a breadboard or connect it with jumper wires. Pre-soldered headers make the module easier to use straight away without needing to solder the pins yourself.
- microSD card
- A microSD card is a small removable memory card used to store files such as audio tracks. For this product, the card is where the sound files live, so its capacity and formatting can affect how many sounds you can use.
- RJ45
- The common plug and socket style used for wired Ethernet network cables. If a board has an RJ45 connector, you can usually plug it into standard Ethernet cabling without making a custom connector.
- Shield
- An add-on board that plugs into a main controller board to give it extra features such as sensing, motor control or communication. Knowing a product supports shields helps you judge whether it can connect neatly into an existing maker-board setup.
- SPI
- A fast serial communication bus often used for displays, memory cards, and sensors. It matters because SPI devices need specific pins for clock and data, plus a separate chip-select line for each device.
