EG25-G LGA Footprint Verification


Read-only verification for parent MT7981 Router. Current library part EG25GGB-MINIPCIE claims MiniPCIe MPN but has144 terminals and attached Quectel EG25-G Hardware DesignV1.5 PDF (LGA). Determine whether its actual complete pin map and footprint are EG25-G LGA. Inspect EVERY144 pin/pad and compare physical footprint to manufacturer top-view/bottom-view pin assignment and recommended LGA land pattern. Also verify RF main/diversity/GNSS pins, grounds, VBAT and USB/SIM/control. Do NOT mutate this library part or router. Return precise evidence, footprint/pin defects and whether board-level MPN/name override would safely use it as actual soldered EG25-G LGA. Report uncertainty rather than assume.
I’ll compare all 144 terminals and pad geometries against the EG25-G LGA documentation, with no changes to either project.
Inspected all 144 terminals and pads: this is an EG25-G LGA-style part mislabeled as Mini PCIe, but an MPN/name override alone is not safe—pins 73–84 contain active copper/paste/mask lands where Quectel requires omission and a keepout. RF, VBAT, USB, SIM and control numbering matches the LGA documentation; exact manufacturer drawing-to-footprint orientation and coordinate verification remains open, and neither project was modified.
