Sorry Frank I should put my glasses on when looking at pics!

Tn same principle, different model. By the way I'm just trying a different way of getting the gold off. I'll know in a couple of days if it works.

Thanks butcher. Founds these on different telecom boards. Little gold something or anothers. They look like they could be solid gold. I cut into one as the picture shows and the color went all the way thru. Is it possible that they are solid rather than plated
Thanks in advance...

Nope no chance at all. They are gold plated. But here's the good news. Heavily gold plated

The white material is Beryllium Oxide. Wear a mask when you break it off, because it's not nice (Google it.)look inside and you'll see bonding wires too.

Edit: here's some I did earlier- note the insides.

Hey A, you get a chance to process any of these components yet?
