Frequently Asked Questions
What is the plating thickness or precious metal yield on these pieces?
Plating thickness and refined metal yield vary across the assortment and are not tested. Components originate from mixed industrial surplus. Refiners should evaluate the material based on the visible package types.
Are the pins and components sorted by manufacturer or alloy?
No. This is an unsorted mix containing plated contacts from multiple manufacturers, including Cinch connector sections alongside loose terminals and semiconductor headers.
What am I receiving in this listing, and what condition risk is involved?
This is sold AS-IS as a 110-gram scrap lot for precious metal recovery or parts salvage. The components are non-functional scrap pulls and trimmings; the photographed lot is the exact material included.
Decades of electronic interconnect design carried real plating thickness, and running them through the refining cell is where that industrial legacy pays out.
