Ericsson RBS6000 used PCB with RF power amplifiers, ideal for e-waste recycling and precious metal recovery. Valuable for its high-grade telecom components. (2010)
Ericsson telecommunications PCB manufactured in 2014, but many components are older generation, so the board is classified as a high gold content grade.
This Nokia Flexi BTS RF module PCB (900 MHz) from 2014 has many gold-plated contacts and a thick silver shielding layer, resulting in high silver and gold content.
GSM Ericsson TU8X402010, manufactured in 2011, belongs to the telecom category. It contains a small amount of palladium, but the gold content remains very high.
Ericsson ROA 128 868/2 PCB produced in 2012,hese boards are often overvalued due to their complex design and visible quantity of integrated circuits, but their actual precious metal recovery may not match visual expectations.
Modern telecom PCB with numerous BGA chips and ceramic ICs. Despite its high-tech look, most components are hollow and contain minimal precious metals. Visual value is deceptive – real recovery is low. (2015)
