What is ceramic CPU scrap?

Ceramic CPU scrap consists of processors built in a ceramic package, typically older-generation pin-grid-array parts. The body is ceramic, the underside carries rows of pins, and many parts have a metal lid.

Why buyers look for it

Refiners and recyclers value this material for the metal plating on pins, lids and internal contacts. The amount of recoverable metal differs by processor family and by lot, which is why no yield figure is published without a documented assay.
