    Telcom boards

    I have seen mentioned several times about telcom boards. I was hoping someone could define that for me. What is a telcom board? Router? Modem? "PBX" phone? house phone? Fax? Just the "switch" at the phone company? CB? Radio scanner? Repeater? Walkie talkie?

    As best as I can tell - they are boards that are primarily just rows if IC chips. I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong though...

    boards out of phone servers. Looks like a server tower but controls phones for a company. Many have gold fingers and backplanes. Search ebay for "phone server" to what they look like.

    some boards have alot of ICs and some just a little. Just different grades.

    Here is a couple pictures of some telecom boards (mixed with other kinds), Due to their large IC population they are considered high-grade.




    The next 2 pictures are of lower-grade telecom boards, I'm not sure what the price/lb is on them:


    These boards say, "IST Northern Telecom" on them, I have a bunch a boards from that company and they have varying quality.


    There is a broad range of telecom boards. Hope this helps.

    HDI High Density Interconnect boards with high layer count.
    Lots of IC's and a lot of copper layers to connect all of it.

    Low grade boards are say 2-4 layers of copper with hardly any parts. High grade is no spare room for parts and up to 18 layers of copper in a board 0.062 thick with immersion gold plating over nickel over copper with high speed in mind.

    I don't see anyone here offering to buy, check out the buyers section for them. Send them a Private Message or Email,,,
    And I don't think any buyer will tell you where they sell their product, I know most scrap yards won't
