Multi-Layer ceramic capacitors recycling

We buy all types of multilayer ceramic capacitors for precious metals recovery as well as SMD type resistors.

If you have any type of new or obsolete ceramic capacitors in reels or loose we will buy them. We are the actual precious metals refinery so we can offer the best prices for such capacitors.

MLCC Capcaitors precious metals content and value

Most multilayer capacitors contain precious metals, making them viable for recovery. However, some types of MLCCs do not include any precious metals. Additionally, MLCCs are often swapped with inductors that appear similar, but in most cases, inductors do not contain precious metals.

The the scrap value of MLCC capacitors varies significantly, influenced by the quantity of precious metals used in their manufacture. For instance, military-grade capacitors incorporate more precious metals compared to their standard-grade counterparts. Consequently, accurately assessing the value of MLCC capacitors requires sampling and conducting a fire assay.

MLCC capacitors come in various sizes, as shown in the picture above. They also come in different colors.
While most MLCCs are brown, variations can include gray, blue, orange, green, and various lighter or darker shades. We purchase multilayer ceramic chip capacitors in all sizes and colors.

If you possess any multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) available for recycling, whether in reels or as individual units, kindly contact us by completing the form located on the right side of this page. Subsequently, we will send you an email requesting images of the MLCCs to verify that they conform to the appropriate type for recycling. Upon receiving the images, we will furnish you with additional information.

Please note: We do not buy wet aluminum capacitors of any kind. However, we do buy tantalum type capacitors. Please visit this page for more information.
