International Rectifier ("IR") uses various metals in our products including tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold. Many of these metals are derived from minerals including columbite-tantalite (“coltan”), cassiterite, gold, wolframite, and their derivatives, which are mined in global locations, including the eastern portion of the Democratic Republic of Congo and surrounding countries (the "Conflict Region").

In compliance with applicable US law, and in concert with the efforts of Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition ("EICC"), IR is committed to responsible sourcing of metals. IR does and will continue to conduct reasonable diligence within our supply chain and will take appropriate steps to ensure that metals are not sourced from mines in the Conflict Region. IR’s suppliers are requested to provide written evidence that minerals used to produce gold, tin, tantalum, and tungsten supplied to IR are not from mines or smelters in the Conflict Region.
