International Rectifier Leominster Facility Awarded JANS Certification from Defense Supply Center Columbus.Technology Editors EL SEGUNDO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 19, 2002 International Rectifier, IR(R) (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :IRF IRF Interferon Regulatory Factor IRF International Religious Freedom IRF Institut for Rationel Farmakoterapi (German) IRF Inherited Rights Filter (Novell) IRF Inherited Rights Filter ) today announced that the Defense Supply Center Columbus (DSCC DSCC Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee DSCC Defense Supply Center Columbus (US DoD) DSCC Dyersburg State Community College (Dyersburg, TN) ) has granted JANS JANS Joint Army Navy Space certification for IR's high reliability (hi-rel) facility located in Leominster, Massachusetts. The facility is certified for compliance with MIL-PRF-19500. Compliance means that the facility is certified to produce JANS N- and P-channel power MOSFETs for use in high-reliability applications, such as undersea telecommunication, military aerospace, commercial aircraft, space launch vehicles, satellite systems and strategic weapon systems. John Catrambone, International Rectifier Vice President, Hi-Rel Products said, "The DSCC, JANS certification is the final step in the successful move of our RAD-Hard(TM) and QPL QPL Q Public License QPL Qualified Products List QPL Qualified Parts List QPL Quantum Programming Language QPL Questionnaire Programming Language QPL Qualified Product Listing QPL Quality Products List QPL Quality Parts List QPL Qt Public License MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) The most popular and widely used type of field effect transistor (see FET). MOSFETs are either NMOS (n-channel) or PMOS (p-channel) transistors, which are fabricated as individually packaged product line from IR's El Segundo operation into a newly-constructed 20,000 square-foot Class 10,000 clean room in its Leominster operation." JANS is the highest quality level assigned by MIL-PRF-19500, and MIL-PRF-19500 is the performance specification currently used by nearly every space-level customer. Earning JANS certification reinforces IR's position as a premiere supplier of hi-rel products. IR's Leominster facility is a supplier of radiation-hardened, hi-rel discrete semiconductors, integrated assemblies, multi-chip modules, power modules and hybrid devices.
