Tantalum Capacitor Scrap Purchasing -- International

[Magagna]

This site is a wonderful. Great post this about tantalio capacitors. Here, in this forum I'm learning that the gold recovery isn't the only thing to recycle but there are different ways to fun ( because I like Disassembled things) and of course make money. Thanks to all for yours answers about tantalio capacitors.

 

[Magagna]

Friends, can you control these please?

Top line: last seems to be tantalum, the two yellow ones before the last are tantalum.
Bottom line: last two aren't tantalum but may have a gold wire inside.

Thanks Marco, the last two I'm many seeing. What's the name?

 

[Magagna]

I found the name here http://www.goldrefiningforum.com/ScraperPartList.doc#_Toc185965428: oscillators
But here it doesn't speaks about gold inside

 

[MarcoP]

It doesn't even say about silver in switches and some relays...

 

[Magagna]

Right Marco! Hahahahaha I started with Single container and now I find myself having many containers assigned To the various materials recovered

:?: you will find that needing a million of a item is not worth saving, imagine cracking open a million of one part for a 1/2 a gram of silver or gold.

try exploring each item you find & make a choice as to it's value one pound at a time, making a spreadsheet with the product numbers and a "yes or no" next to it so you will always know what you want to keep & what you don't.

as your list grows you can put results. (gold plated sata hard drive connectors = 0.2g of gold per pound) <-- not hard data, just an example

you will come across 100's & 1000's of different things. you can't keep them all stored in jars in the garage :roll:

find, choose & keep to recover or sell the best items, i understand that it's better to make 5 cents then nothing at all..... but at what price ??

if your getting $1.65 a pound for a motherboard, and taking 1/10 of a pound off that is worth $0.03 it is not worth your while.

Aren't there tantalio capacitors?

 

[necromancer]

no they are not Tantalum.

 

[MarcoP]

No, that's condensers.

In this same thread, and others about tantalum in this same forum's category, you have plenty of pictures to use as reference.

here is my google image search for: "Drawing for Tantalum Capacitors"

here is my google search for: "types of tantalum capacitors"

Excuse me, but in the bottom line the three that are located in the last but two place are very similar at the photo I posted last. If' so they aren't tantalio......

 

[the iron dwarf]

the picture is not of just tantalum, some sections of it are ceramic and some are metalised film

 

[necromancer]

Excuse me, but in the bottom line the three that are located in the last but two place are very similar at the photo I posted last. If' so they aren't tantalio......

please post the numbers off the items you are talking about. sorry but i have a hard time understanding your post.
or a close up photo

 

[Magagna]

I was referring to these three. There aren't tantalio right? Because are very similar to the other which are not tantalio.

 

[necromancer]
