What are S-grade circuit boards?

S-grade circuit boards are high-grade PCB scrap densely populated with ceramic ICs or square IC chips. They contain higher levels of gold and precious metals, making them more valuable than standard circuit boards.

How should I prepare S-grade boards before bringing them in?

Remove all attached batteries, heat sinks, and any foreign materials. Sort out non-board components if possible. Cleaner and purer boards receive better appraisal. We recommend taking clear photos in advance if you have a large volume.

What conditions must S-grade boards meet for purchase?

Boards must be free of foreign materials, clean, and have no attached batteries. Boards with batteries attached may not be accepted for purchase.

What types of items typically contain S-grade boards?

S-grade boards are commonly found in high-end electronic devices, appliances, and equipment containing ceramic ICs or square IC chips.

How is the value of S-grade PCB scrap determined?

The appraisal value is based on the amount of gold contained per board, overall material purity, and real-time market metal prices.

S-Grade Boards Introduction

S-Grade Boards are high-grade scrap circuit boards known for their dense concentration of ceramic ICs and square chips, which often contain higher amounts of gold and other precious metals. Because of their composition, they are typically valued above lower-grade electronic boards. At our Delta yard in BC, we buy clean S-Grade Boards by weight based on our current posted prices. Boards must be free of batteries and other foreign materials, and attached heat sinks or extra components may reduce the final price. We also accept small drop-offs.
