Recycle your electrical contacts containing Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Palladium!

Electrical contacts are a great source of value to recycle and recover the precious metals from. Some of the most common electrical contacts are silver cadmium oxide (AgCdO) contacts, silver tungsten (AgW), silver molybdenum (AgMo), and silver palladium (AgPd), but there are numerous others that contain silver and other valuable metals. Besides electrical contacts, there is also value in silver solder. At Specialty Metals, we process and pay you for the precious metal content in any type of contact or solder you may have, and we do it in a fast, reliable, and accurate manner, to maximize your return.

Electrical contacts aren’t just limited to silver. Electrical contacts can also contain gold, platinum, and palladium – depending on the level of conductivity needed in the application and the intended effects of the contacts used.
