ACKERMANN CLINO

Many are surprised, but LEDs contain a small yet valuable amount of gold for recycling. Since these LEDs are mounted on an aluminum base, the copper content in the chips themselves is very low.

Older generation T-Con boards from 2006 contain a high amount of gold and have significant recycling value.

Vintage RF tuner modules from old TVs and VCRs have quite a high palladium content.

Monitor PCB from 2011 technology. It contains a very low amount of gold and is classified among the lowest value grades.

Monitor PCB from 2013 technology. It contains a very low amount of gold and is classified among the lowest value grades.

Old-generation monitor board with a relatively high gold content compared to modern equivalents (2002)

DVD player PCBs vary in gold content by year. Pre-2009 boards are most valuable (~200 ppm Au), while post-2010 are usually low-value. SMD ICs add more value than TH components. (2012)

Universal TV mainboard suitable for LCD and plasma televisions. Common PCB with low palladium content, ideal for electronics recycling and material recovery. (2008)
