    hello, is there palladium in tantalum capacitors?

    • @escrapchannel
      @escrapchannel  3 года назад +5

      Hi, I know one type from Soviet Union k52 series that have palladium. They should be marked wit ‘C’ after the number. Like k52-2C.

      Hey can you guys let me know what brand and type of cutters those are? Im looking for something a little better that what im currently using. need them to snip tighter to the board in some cases. Thx

    • @escrapchannel
      @escrapchannel  4 года назад +3

      I use a cheap Chinese proskit cutters. The point is that they are designed for electronics and flat, so they cut really close to the board.

    Are newer boards still worth stripping down for precious metals? Like the cheap Chinese e-junk?

    • @escrapchannel
      @escrapchannel  2 года назад

      Hi, the only high gold content element on the new boards are BGA ICs. Some boards in telecom equipment have more than 10 BGAs so I depopulate such and get gold. For motherboards and peripheral cards etc better sell. To process and get real profit you need a factory.

    Do all them capacitors have some level of palladium in them?

    • @escrapchannel

      Hi, unfortunately no. Modern electronics MLCCs frequently have no palladium.

  • @wlajem

    Awesome infos! Just a question, how you know which capacitors contain palladium? I’m looking everywhere but I can’t find info. Every blue/brown cap I found have palladium?

    • @escrapchannel
      @escrapchannel  3 года назад +5

      Hi, not every brown or blue capacitor has palladium. These have mark “bc” “bo” and we’re made in Bulgaria. In general I cut capacitors in 2 parts and look at the MLCC inside. In general being non-magnetic is a good indicator. Some magnetic have palladium, too. So, break and collect all capacitors that have mlcc inside. If not palladium - you will get at least silver.

    • @escrapchannel
      @escrapchannel  2 года назад

      @Dumitru Bojan MLCCs have palladium, but it is an endless discussion if magnetic or non magnetic or both have palladium. From my experience palladium in no magnetic is significantly more in non magnetic MLCCs, but I find some in magnetic too. Very small amount. Here some people say that it comes from now well separated nonmagnetic MLCCs, some say that there is a palladium in magnetic. I never did detail analysis.

    So good you reply to everyone..
    I didn't understand if you made profit or did you sell as is? Or have to process ??
    And what was your profit roughly?? It's sells by gram not kilo also???

    • @escrapchannel
      @escrapchannel  4 года назад +3

      Hi, it takes 3 hours from the pile of devices to depopulated elements.
      So, in all cases if you don’t process ICs and MLCCs by yourself - sell boards. Takes 1-2 min to take the board from one device and is cost affective.
      If you decide to depopulate valuable elements you severely downgrade boards but you get 40 - 50 USD in gold and palladium.

      @@andreamichelle8383 I live in east Europe and here you can sell 10 grams of capacitors or half gram of palladium for example. If you have quantity you can negotiate better price but there is no lower limit. Usually buyer is doing analysis and it can be done to both types of material. I think you should search for the right buyer in your country.
