Through-hole parts

This is the per-phone shopping list for the hand-populated AG1171 carrier and the external capacitor used in the audio connection. Prices are Digi-Key single-quantity prices checked September 24, 2026. Shipping, sales tax and any tariffs are additional.

AG1171 carrier parts

Part Qty. Reference Source Extended price
Silvertel AG1171 module 1 U1 5061-AG1171-ND $8.50
1 kΩ, ¼ W axial resistor 3 R1–R3 1.0KQBK-ND $0.30
470 µF, 16 V radial electrolytic 1 C1 493-1785-ND $0.62
100 nF, 50 V radial ceramic 1 U4 BC2665CT-ND $0.30
1N4148 DO-35 diode 1 D2 1N4148FS-ND $0.10
JST XH 2-pin vertical header 2 CN1, CN2 B2B-XH-A $0.20
JST XH 3-pin vertical header 1 U2 B3B-XH-A $0.13
JST XH 4-pin vertical header 1 U3 B4B-XH-A $0.17
Parts total $10.32

The board labels the 100 nF capacitor as U4; that unusual reference is intentional. Select cut tape for BC2665CT-ND. The specified diode is a 1N4148 even though the working prototype used a BAT85 that was already on hand.

If your connector assortment already supplies the four PCB headers, omit the last three lines. The remaining carrier parts total $9.82.

External audio capacitor

Part Qty. Used at Source Extended price
1 µF, 50 V X7R radial ceramic capacitor 1 Between MIC- and system ground Murata RDER71H105K2M1H03A / 490-9146-1-ND $0.69

The capacitor is nonpolar and compact enough to fit comfortably in the wiring harness. The carrier parts plus this capacitor total $11.01, or $10.51 when the connector assortment supplies the carrier headers.

The harness section covers the connector housings, crimp contacts and wire.

Optional assortments used in the prototype

I built the first carrier from component assortments already on my bench. You do not need to buy these packs for one phone; the individual parts above are the clearer shopping list.

Existing assortment Part taken from it
EEEEE ceramic capacitor assortment One 100 nF ceramic capacitor
BOJACK ¼ W resistor assortment Three 1 kΩ resistors
Swpeet electrolytic capacitor assortment One 470 µF electrolytic capacitor
BAT85 diode pack One BAT85 used in the prototype instead of the specified 1N4148

Reference only: Audio/Reset A4 through-hole parts

Do not use this section as a separate shopping list. Order the Audio/Reset A4 board fully assembled as part of the combined PCB order. This table is retained only as a reference for the through-hole positions on that board.

Part Qty. References Source reference
10 kΩ through-hole trimmer 2 SPK_LVL, MIC_LVL Bourns 3362P-1-103LF
JST XH 3-pin vertical header 2 J2, U2 B3B-XH-A
JST XH 4-pin vertical header 1 J1 B4B-XH-A

The fully assembled Audio/Reset board should arrive with these parts and all of its surface-mount components already installed. Confirm their placement in the JLCPCB preview before ordering.
