    What would you call these boards?

    These small boards are from fiber channel hard drive caddies. They are used to connect the Fiber channel drives to the storage array.

    The board on the left is a hard drive board for size reference. The board on the right is the one I need help with. How would these be classified when I go to sell?





    You can see the gold connectors here. The connectors cover both sides of the plastic.


    Back of card, with additional connector, looks like gold inside.


    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I think at the very least they would go for trimmed finger cards...a bit higher because there is no metal bracket. $4/lb is what I think.

    I don't know how many of these you have, but etack buys those yellow capacitors on there for $6/lb.

    Thanks for the help guys. I don't think I'll be going to such extremes as taking off capacitors, but I appreciate the suggestion. I'm really just still trying to wrap my head around how to sort the different boards for accurate pricing.

    I was able to speak with Mario today and he cleared up some of the confusion. Basically, I'm going to put them with my telecom boards to be sorted.

    Thanks again!

    Johnny
