    I could be wrong but those look like the old PCMCIA card holders from laptops.

    I throw these in with dirty aluminum sheet. If you have a way to get the board/connector off very quickly please let me know. Time is important and for me it is not worth the hassle.

    I grab the corners with pliers one at a time and twist them until the aluminum shell comes off. The board inside would be considered high grade
    There's nothing more fun and more effective than hitting something repeatedly with a sledgehammer
