I have a bunch of these ribbon wire connectors, & I see what appears to me, to be a small circuit board maybe sandwiched in there??
Should I take these connector ends apart to separate the boards or just leave them as they are and sell it as connector ends???

Thanks

Connector ends as is is probably fine. If you wanted to take one apart to see exactly what's there you could also do that.

Don't worry about breaking it down or removing the board. That board has the pins attached to it so they don't bend or move.

Almost looks like there's two connectors , connected together.

Similar applications are like those memory card or flash readers. How they have that little green board and the pins are soldered to it and pushed into the framing.

Are you also in the microscrapping group on facebook? I literally just saw a guy have one of these taken apart and I commented with gold connector ends.

Possibly just a coincidence.

nope, it wasn't me. I really don't do the whole FB thing still. I hate trying to find my way around all of the different options to things on there...
