What Hybrid Electronics sources from IR HiRel

Hybrid Electronics is an independent stocking distributor and sourcing agent based in Sanford, Florida. For programs that specify International Rectifier HiRel or Infineon IR HiRel discretes on a MIL-PRF-19500 QPL line item — whether current, allocated, obsolete, or long-lead — we source across the full IR HiRel high-reliability portfolio. We do not repair, re-mark, or re-screen parts, and we are not an authorized distributor, agent, licensee, or partner of International Rectifier HiRel Products, Inc. or Infineon Technologies AG.

Buyers typically come to us with a shortage on the exact JAN-prefixed part number their program needs. For IR HiRel that most commonly means:

Rad-hard N-channel power MOSFETs — the R6, R7, R8 (trench) and R9 generations qualified per MIL-PRF-19500 to JANTXV, JANTXVR, JANS, and JANSR levels, in VDS classes from roughly 20 V to 650 V, in hermetic TO-254AA, TO-257, SMD-0.5, SMD-1 and SupIR-SMD (U2A) packages
Rad-hard P-channel power MOSFETs — complementary devices for space-grade DC/DC converters and motor drives, JANTXV and JANS levels per MIL-PRF-19500/660
Schottky rectifiers per MIL-PRF-19500/620 — JAN, JANTX, JANTXV, and JANS versions of axial-lead and surface-mount Schottkys, plus dual center-tap Schottky SMD devices covered by follow-on slash sheets such as /765
Ultrafast recovery rectifiers — screened MIL-PRF-19500 equivalent for space power supplies and resonant converters, including surface-mount versions per /681
TVS (transient voltage suppressor) diodes per MIL-PRF-19500/516 — the industry-recognised voidless hermetic TVS family (500 W and 1500 W ratings, both unidirectional and bidirectional, axial and SMD), qualified up to JANS
Rad-hard MOSFET bare die — JANHC and JANKC per MIL-PRF-19500/657 for hybrid-microcircuit and multi-chip module assembly
Rad-hard 100 V GaN transistors, JANS-qualified per MIL-PRF-19500 — currently the only internally-manufactured JANS rad-hard GaN on the market

We treat every incoming request as a sourcing job, not a stock lookup: send the exact JAN-prefixed part number, date-code or lot-code requirement, and quantity, and we will confirm what we can source, from what channel, and at what lead time — usually within one business day.

Company history: from Eric Lidow's selenium rectifiers to Infineon's HiRel division

International Rectifier Corporation was founded on August 9, 1947 in Inglewood, California by Eric Lidow and his father Leon Lidow, with six employees and a small facility built around selenium-rectifier processes the Lidows had developed for converting AC to DC in industrial and military electronics. The company moved its headquarters to El Segundo, California shortly after founding, was listed on the NYSE under the ticker "IRF" on December 12, 1960, and remained there until the Infineon acquisition. Eric Lidow served as CEO until 1995 and as Chairman until his retirement in 2008.

IR spent the next several decades pioneering the modern power semiconductor: commercial germanium rectifier (1954), silicon rectifier (1959), glass-passivated power transistor (1974), and — most consequentially for MIL-PRF-19500 — the HEXFET hexagonal power MOSFET in 1979. IR was also the first manufacturer to introduce a radiation-hardened power MOSFET for space in 1987, a product category that IR HiRel still leads today.

On August 20, 2014, Infineon Technologies AG announced an all-cash offer to acquire International Rectifier for approximately $3 billion at $40 per share, which closed on January 13, 2015. Most of IR's business was folded into Infineon's Power Management & Multimarket, Industrial Power Control, and Automotive segments — but the Leominster, Massachusetts high-reliability plant was kept as a distinct subsidiary, IR HiRel Products, Inc. (and later IR HiRel Products, LLC), specifically because the site holds the DLA MIL-PRF-19500, MIL-PRF-38534, and related qualifications that carry stringent re-certification requirements at any change of legal entity. The Leominster plant continues to operate as an active QPL/QML-19500 source under the trading name "International Rectifier HIREL, an Infineon Company", which is exactly how DLA lists it on the current live QPL-19500 manufacturer roster.

MIL-PRF-19500 quality levels — a primer for first-time buyers

MIL-PRF-19500 is the U.S. Department of Defense performance specification for hermetically-sealed discrete semiconductor devices — diodes, rectifiers, transistors, thyristors, SCRs, and TVS devices. It is administered by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime in Columbus, Ohio (formerly DSCC-VQ) and, together with the MIL-STD-750 test-method standard, governs the screening and quality-conformance testing performed on JAN-marked parts.

The quality levels are structured from baseline to space, in ascending order:

JAN — baseline Joint Army-Navy qualification. Note: not allowed for MOSFETs per MIL-PRF-19500.
JANTX — adds a 168-hour power burn-in and additional screening
JANTXV — adds pre-cap visual inspection on top of JANTX
JANTXVR — JANTXV plus radiation-hardness assurance
JANS — space level, with 100 % additional screening, wafer lot acceptance testing (WLAT), particle-impact noise detection (PIND), serialization, failure analysis, and traceability to a wafer lot
JANSR — JANS plus radiation lot acceptance testing (RLAT) at defined TID levels ("R", "F", "G" or "H"), with typical ratings from 100 krad(Si) to 300 krad(Si)
JANHC / JANKC — unencapsulated (bare die) qualification levels

Certification comes in two flavors. QPL (Qualified Products List) is per-part-type qualification and is the older model; QML (Qualified Manufacturers List) is the current line-level model that qualifies an entire production line rather than each part individually. IR HiRel's Leominster site holds line-level qualification and appears on both the QPL-19500 and QML-19500 rosters. Specific device families are defined by slash sheets — MIL-PRF-19500/### documents that specify the electrical, thermal, mechanical and radiation requirements for a given part family. IR HiRel is the manufacturer of record on dozens of these slash sheets, listed below.

Every JAN part number IR HiRel ships carries a JAN branded prefix (e.g. JAN, JANTX, JANTXV, JANS, JANSR). In parallel, IR HiRel also maintains its own Qualified IR List (QIRL) — parts screened on the same MIL-PRF-19500 DLA-approved production line but marked with SCS (S equivalent), SCV (TXV equivalent), or SCX (TX equivalent) suffixes. These QIRL parts are not JAN-marked and do not appear on the DLA QPL, but they are manufactured on the same flow as the QPL devices.

IR HiRel product portfolio on MIL-PRF-19500

Because this page is a sourcing reference, the tables below list product families and slash sheets rather than individual JAN part numbers. For any specific device — including exact JAN, JANTX, JANTXV, JANS, or JANSR part markings and CAGE-code source-of-record confirmation — contact us with the exact part number you need to source.

Rad-hard power MOSFETs

IR HiRel's rad-hard N-channel and P-channel MOSFETs span roughly 20 V to 650 V VDS, multiple die sizes, and a broad range of hermetic package options. The latest R9 planar generation is rated 100 krad(Si) TID and has been characterized for single-event effects (SEE) at linear-energy-transfer values up to 84–90 MeV·cm²/mg. Higher-TID JANSR "F/G/H" screening is available on selected devices per the applicable slash sheets.

Rad-hard Schottky and ultrafast rectifiers

Space-grade Schottkys are qualified per MIL-PRF-19500/620 (JAN through JANS) in both axial-lead and surface-mount packages. Ultrafast-recovery rectifiers are screened to MIL-PRF-19500-equivalent flow and are available on source control drawings (SCD) to JANTX, JANTXV and JANS levels.

Transient voltage suppressors (TVS)

IR HiRel is one of the primary sources of hermetic, voidless TVS diodes qualified per MIL-PRF-19500/516, including the widely-referenced JANS 500 W bidirectional axial series used across the satellite and launch-vehicle industry.

Rad-hard GaN and roadmap

As of 2025–2026, IR HiRel/Infineon is shipping the first and only internally-manufactured JANS-qualified rad-hard 100 V GaN transistor per MIL-PRF-19500 — a milestone that opens up a new class of high-frequency space power converters. Rad-hard SiC and additional GaN JANS qualification programs are on the published Infineon HiRel roadmap.

Current QPL/QML-19500 status

The DLA Land and Maritime real-time QML-19500 manufacturer list currently shows the entry "International Rectifier HIREL, an Infineon Company" as an active qualified source for supplying compliant product to the performance requirements of MIL-PRF-19500. The site is Leominster, Massachusetts (205 Crawford Street), operating under CAGE code 69210. The same site historically appeared on the older QML-19500 roster as "Omnirel Corp." at the same street address and CAGE, a predecessor entity that was folded into IR HiRel decades ago.

In parallel, IR HiRel holds MIL-PRF-38534 (Hybrid Microcircuits) qualification at the same Leominster plant, which is what allows the site to build and qualify the space-grade half-bridge DC/DC converters, solid-state relays, and gate-driver hybrids that ride alongside its discrete power MOSFETs on the same spacecraft power distribution boards.

Programs that need to verify the current QPL status of a specific JAN-prefixed IR HiRel part — including qualification history, notice-of-change status, or product-alert activity — should consult the DLA Land and Maritime QPL-19500 database directly. Hybrid Electronics can help pull the relevant qualification data as part of an RFQ.

Space heritage: from 1970s rad-hard parts to Artemis and Roman

Few discrete-semiconductor manufacturers have the flight history of IR HiRel. Infineon publicly states that its predecessor companies supplied the first rad-hard components for NASA and ESA programs as far back as the 1970s, and that IR HiRel devices have since flown on hundreds of space missions, including navigation satellites (the GPS class among them), the International Space Station, and countless commercial-satellite and launch-vehicle platforms.

Two recent programs anchor the current flight portfolio:

NASA Artemis II (2026). Infineon reports that its rad-hard semiconductor devices from the IR HiRel division supported the electronic backbone of the Orion capsule, from power supply and control systems through data communications, across the ten-day Artemis II mission. All parts were qualified to MIL-PRF-38535 Class V, MIL-PRF-19500, ESA ESCC-5000, and NASA EEE-INST-002.
Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. Infineon's HiRel portfolio integrated into the Roman Space Telescope includes rad-hard power semiconductors qualified to MIL-PRF standards with characterized TID and SEE performance, giving the observatory the reliability margins required for sustained operation at the second Earth-Sun Lagrange point (L2).

In parallel, IR HiRel offers a “New Space” portfolio of radiation-tolerant MOSFETs in plastic packages (TO-263 and TO-247), qualified against the automotive AEC-Q101 standard with additional space-relevant tests (outgassing, salt atmosphere) and rated for SEE at 46 MeV·cm²/mg and TID of 30–50 krad(Si). These are aimed at LEO satellite constellations where mission life is two to five years and full JANS qualification is not required. This is a different portfolio from the MIL-PRF-19500 QPL parts described elsewhere on this page and is called out here for clarity.

How Hybrid Electronics sources IR HiRel parts

Defense and aerospace buyers rarely have a hard time locating IR HiRel parts that are actively in production. Where independent stocking distributors add value is on the edges of a QPL manufacturer's lifecycle:

Obsolete and end-of-life JAN parts

Legacy IR HiRel JAN, JANTX, and JANTXV devices in older hermetic packages that have been superseded on the current price list but are still required by long-life defense and space programs. We locate remaining authorized-channel stock and traceable excess-inventory holdings.

Allocated and long-lead JANS / JANSR parts

Space-level rad-hard MOSFETs and Schottkys frequently sit on multi-quarter lead times when qualified for a new program. We look for pre-existing lot inventory, qualified date-code windows, and lot-buy positions across the independent distribution channel.

Specific-date-code and lot-code requirements

Some programs need a particular wafer-lot or date-code window for continuity of qualification. Send us the specific requirement and we will confirm what is available and provide any documentation the buyer's incoming inspection needs.

Full traceability and inspection support

Every quote references the source of stock. We do not sell counterfeit parts, we do not offer repair or re-marking services, and we do not misrepresent authorized-channel versus independent-channel inventory.

Cross-references and adjacent qualifications

Programs that specify IR HiRel parts on MIL-PRF-19500 typically also touch a set of adjacent DLA and ESA/NASA specifications:

MIL-PRF-38534 — General Specification for Hybrid Microcircuits. IR HiRel holds this qualification at the Leominster plant for its rad-hard DC/DC converters, solid-state relays, and gate-driver hybrid assemblies.
MIL-PRF-38535 — Integrated Circuits, Manufacturing, General Specification. Applies to Infineon HiRel's rad-hard ICs and monolithic gate drivers.
MIL-STD-750 — Test methods for semiconductor devices, invoked throughout MIL-PRF-19500.
MIL-STD-883 — Test methods for microelectronics, invoked by MIL-PRF-38534 and MIL-PRF-38535.
ESA ESCC-5000 — European Space Components Coordination generic specification. IR HiRel offers ESCC-5000 space-flight qualified variants of many rad-hard MOSFETs (denoted "ES" in the Infineon nomenclature).
NASA EEE-INST-002 — NASA's instruction for the selection, screening and qualification of EEE parts.
DLA Land and Maritime, Columbus OH — qualifying activity for MIL-PRF-19500, formerly known as DSCC-VQ.
CAGE 69210 — International Rectifier HiRel Products, Inc., 205 Crawford Street, Leominster, MA 01453.
