Thanks for creating a pull request to contribute to the KiCad libraries! To speed up integration of your PR, please check the following items:

  • Provide a URL to a datasheet for the footprint(s) you are contributing
  • An example screenshot image is very helpful
  • If there are matching symbol or 3D model pull requests, provide link(s) as appropriate
  • Check the output of the Travis automated check scripts - fix any errors as required

I would suggest the use of rounded rectangle pads with 25% round radius ration (maximum 0.25mm)
This is in preference to the oval pad shapes shown in the datasheet. (As defined by IPC)

The datasheet contains following note:

The module should be kept about 3mm away from other components on the host PCB.

We could implement this with the courtyard layer. (use a clearance of 3mm between the courtyard and the body.)

Some of the inner pads are positioned wrong

Why 29% roundrect radius? IPC would specify 25%

the footprint have the following aspect:

Have fixed the inner pad, and moved back the roundrect radius to 25%, and added courtyard to 3mm instead of 0.25mm.

You used the 3mm clearance relative to the pads. I would read the datasheet as if it should be relative to the body.

The rest of your fixes look good.

  Corrected Footprint to match datasheet as close as possible
  Corrected Courtyard on Hanrun Magjack
  Corrected Holes sizes on Ethernet connector after measureing the real thing. Looks like the datasheet dimesions are for the PCB hole sizes, not the size of the pins themselves (Conncetor pins measure about 0.5mm Dia, LED Pins about 0.7mm Dia
  Fixed Path names for 3D models
