SINCE ITS INCEPTION, iCONN HAS EXPERIENCED CONSISTENT GROWTH.We’ve increased our staff from the four founding employees to approximately 100 today. iCONN continually invests in capital equipment focusing on vertical integration and adding capabilities to our existing portfolio to better service the needs of our customers.We develop products for a variety of industries with a total design concept that considers application constraints, durability, ergonomics and audio and tactical features. In addition, we work with our customers to develop customized inventory stocking programs, which enables them to receive products when they need it with little to no lead time.iCONN OFFERS IN-HOUSE CAPABILITIES THAT WILL ACCELERATE TIMELINES WITHOUT COMPROMISING QUALITYOvermolding bonds a layer of durable material over an existing part to form a single unit, such as joining a cable and a connector. iCONN engineers overmolded cable assemblies that comply with environmental regulations such as RoHS, REACH and Conflict Minerals at competitive pricing. Our wide variety of discrete and overmolded cables are built to meet or exceed your specifications. iCONN runs up to 40 ton presses to produce assemblies of various sizes, and utilizes thermoplastic resins such as TPU, PVC, PBT and more.Low-pressure molding protects electronic components from moisture, dust, dirt and vibration while sealing connectors and molding grommets/strain reliefs. iCONN utilizes low-pressure molding to encapsulate sensitive components and circuitry.With iCONN’s component molding, we control our own quality and lead times. We control the whole manufacturing supply chain for all connector components in-house. Our component molding machines run lights-out, leveraging automated systems with robotic sprue pickers and auto feeders. Component molding automation enables us to produce quality and competitive product no matter the production volume. iCONN runs a multitude of resins, in many colors on machines up to 110 tons.CNC Swiss machining turns bar stock into finished components with capabilities of holding very tight tolerance. It is cost effective and provides our customers with the ability to produce low volume production runs with quick changeovers. iCONN leverages PartMaker to develop CNC machining programs and store them in an efficient manner. iCONN produces parts out of brass, stainless and aluminum on 7 axis CNC Swiss Lathes.iCONN owns two automated soldering machines, capable of attaching millions of PC mount connectors to rigid and flex circuits. By investing in automated soldering, iCONN is able to improve quality and reliability by implementing mechanical-grade precision and creating greater consistency. This technology increases engineering capabilities while not compromising quality for speed.iCONN continually is researching new and improved ways to add automation and increase throughput on standard processes. iCONN also has the capabilities in-house to terminate any standard off-the-shelf connector, whether we make or buy it from distribution. With iCONN’s capabilities and expertise, we’re a one stop shop for our customers.iCONN Systems utilizes a stage-gate model to ensure the appropriate steps and approvals are in place. Our facility and capabilities allow us to do it all in-house. We’ll work with you directly to learn your needs, then develop a strategy to find a cost-effective solution. Using tools like our mold flow analysis software and Part Maker, we’ll complete the process. Once we’re through, we provide ongoing support, such as updates or changes, as needed. iCONN leverages a unique approach to propel our engineers to the top in the industry. We don’t believe they should sit behind a computer all day— they are also trained to operate all machinery in our tool shop so they are creating the parts they design in Solidworks to assess feasibility of unique designs.iCONN excels in addressing and correcting product performance and quality issues that our customers often experience with our competition. Often, we can work within our customer’s pre-existing designs to come up with value-added solutions, which can eliminate the need for a complete product redesign. Through reengineering, iCONN works with our customers to identify opportunities required to meet the specific applications, improve performance, eliminate quality and warranty claims and ultimately, reduce our customer’s costs. We strive to preserve the core features and logic, while modifying or adding functionalities that enable reverse compatibility.
