Telecom-grade line cards and switching fabrics with the highest gold content of any commercial PCB type, due to gold-plated backplane connectors and ASIC chip bonding. The Nokia 5G Baseband Processing Card v4 contains approximately 2794mg of gold per pound, 159mg of palladium per pound, and 25% copper by weight. At current June 2026 market rates, this translates to approximately $5.20 per pound in scrap value.
Nokia is known for high-quality manufacturing standards, which often means higher precious metal content in their PCBs compared to generic alternatives. The gold plating on edge connectors, CPU socket pins, and high-speed signal traces is thicker and purer than consumer-grade boards, making them more valuable per pound at the refinery.
