Assuming the metal is copper, the melting point is just over 1900F. Plastics
tend to five off harmful fumes, and it would be difficult to cleanly remove it
from the metal leads, too. Do you just want to see how the internals of the
flash drive are wired?

coooool. you know I was crying about my USB drive this weekend? Well, I thought
to myself that today would be a good day to throw it away. Well thank goodness
curiosity got my attention; I grabbed a pair of pliers and broke the plastic
housing. That left me with the metal housing. I was looking at it wondering if
I could take it apart further when I stood it up and the plastic inside just
slid out. I look at it (I have magnifyin vision)and it looks as if what they do
is mold plastic around the circuitry because all the plastic is, is a slab wich
is 1/16" thick by 1" long with no metal showing except 4 contacts one one end
and 2 tiny contacts on the other end (same side). Anyone know how I can take it
apart further. I'm thinking I coucd melt the plastic but am unsure. How hot
should I turn the oven up too?
