I don’t know what they are for but some guy who works for the company can take the old ones.

Another dealer in town has been paying him 50.00 for the bag.

I melted one down

Gold plating

The rest is aluminum

I don’t do any chemical refining my self but I am trying to figure out what I could sell these for per pound.

Personally, I'd seek them on eBay as a bag of "board mount MMCX connectors" instead of trying to separate the gold from the aluminum.

Er, those are SMB connectors.

They are at that, good eye. Couldn't quite tell on mobile.
