| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation | Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, the Company has omitted footnote disclosures that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nortech Systems Incorporated and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. All dollar amounts are stated in thousands of U.S. dollars.

| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our condensed consolidated financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during each reporting period. Significant items subject to estimates and assumptions include the lower of cost or net realizable value reserves for inventories, allowance for credit losses, realizability of deferred tax assets and long-lived asset recovery. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

| Tarriff Legislation | Tarriff Legislation
In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) does not authorize the President to impose tariffs, resulting in the termination of all IEEPA-based tariffs effective February 24, 2026. Following this ruling, the Administration imposed a temporary 10% global tariff on most imported products under Section 122 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, effective February 24, 2026, for a 150-day period.
These new tariffs apply broadly to manufactured goods and component parts. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of these tariff actions on future material costs and sourcing decisions. The Company is actively seeking reimbursement of IEEPA tariffs from the federal government and the Company’s vendors.

| Recently Issued New Accounting Standards | Recently Issued New Accounting Standards
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU No. 2024-03”), which requires disaggregated expense information in the notes to the financial statements related to purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization and selling expenses for each statement of earnings line item that contains those expenses. ASU No. 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The guidance is to be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively; this ASU allows for early adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements disclosures.

| Adoption of New Accounting Standard | Adoption of New Accounting Standard
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets (“ASU No. 2025-05”), which reduces the complexity of applying credit losses to current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606 (revenue from contracts with customers). ASU 2025-05 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025. The Company has adopted this ASU and it did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

| Restricted Cash | Restricted Cash
Cash classified as restricted cash on our consolidated balance sheets relates to contractual cash dominion provisions under the Company’s financing arrangements, which at March 31, 2026 were governed by the new Associated Bank facility. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had restricted cash of $244 and $0, respectively.
The restricted cash balance at March 31, 2026 primarily represents customer deposits that are temporarily restricted due to timing at period end and are subject to the cash dominion provisions of the financing arrangement. These customer deposits are applied against the Company’s line of credit on the next business day.

Amortization expense of finite life intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $5 and $5, respectively.
As of March 31, 2026, estimated future annual amortization expense related to these assets is as follows:

| Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. At March 31, 2026, the Company determined that no triggering events existed that would require an impairment assessment.
