Conflict Minerals 

The Dodd-Frank Act and related U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rule requires certain public companies to disclose the extent to which the products they manufacture or contract to manufacture contain so called conflict minerals and whether or not the minerals were sourced from mines that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) or adjoining countries (“Covered Countries”). Tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold, (3TGs) are “Conflict Minerals” as defined in Section 1502. These minerals are used in many electronic components and manufacturing consumables which IEC Electronics purchases.

IEC Electronics Corporation takes this recent legislation on “Conflict Minerals” extremely seriously and will continue to ensure compliance with the legislation.  IEC continues to monitor the ongoing SEC developments and is committed to complying with and assisting our customers in complying with the reporting requirements.
