Industrial PLC and DCS control boards with military-spec gold plating on all connectors and high-reliability components. The Siemens SCADA Interface Board Gen2 contains approximately 1723mg of gold per pound, 170mg of palladium per pound, and 15% copper by weight. At current August 2026 market rates, this translates to approximately $3.45 per pound in scrap value.
Siemens 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.
At ScrapMetalBuyers.com, we buy scrap circuit boards in bulk from data center decommissions, electronics recyclers, and ITAD companies. We focus on commercial-scale lots of 50 lbs or more. Sean handles every deal personally — no brokers, no middlemen, same-day payment.

The Siemens SCADA Interface Board Gen2 Circuit Board Scrap Value (second generation platform) is a specialized electronic assembly used across multiple high-value industrial and commercial sectors. Understanding where these boards come from and how they were used is critical to accurately assessing their scrap value — boards from certain industries carry heavier gold plating, more complex BGA packages, and higher-value precious metal profiles than visually similar boards from other sectors.
Siemens SCADA interface boards support multiple legacy and modern industrial protocols simultaneously, including DNP3, IEC 60870-5, Modbus RTU/TCP, and PROFINET. They feature optically isolated serial ports to protect against ground loop interference in long-distance field communication. The boards use industrial-grade components rated for -40°C to +85°C operation.
This is the second-generation platform design, representing a significant architectural update from the original product family. Second-generation boards typically feature updated processor architectures and memory technologies that affect the precious metal content profile compared to first-generation designs. These boards are typically 5–10 years old at current market conditions.
Utility infrastructure upgrades, pipeline SCADA modernization projects, and the replacement of legacy Siemens WinCC and SIMATIC NET systems with current-generation platforms are the primary scrap sources.
SCADA interface boards from utility and pipeline applications are typically in good condition. Boards from outdoor RTU enclosures may show weathering but precious metal content is unaffected.
We buy single boards and bulk lots. Free pickup for 50+ lbs. Same-day payment on approved lots.
