Vishay Intertechnology, Inc.

In 1962, Dr. Felix Zandman founded Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. with a family loan as a maker of foil resistors and resistance strain gauges. Since then, the Malvern, Pennsylvania headquartered firm has become one of the world’s largest discrete semiconductors and passive electronic component manufacturers. At present, the Fortune 100 corporation maintains production capacity in the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Israel and a global workforce of 22,440. Thanks to a series of strategic acquisitions, Vishay maintains an incredibly robust and varied portfolio of microelectronics products. The corporation’s semiconductor offerings comprise a slew of low, medium, and high voltage MOSFETs and interconnects; optoelectronics; diodes; and a range of rectifiers. Moreover, the company’s passive components include a broad selection of resistors; capacitors; specialty power supplies, connectors; wireless charging coils; and standard and custom inductors, transformers, and magnetics. A global industry-leading brand, Vishay has dedicated its R&D, engineering, and sales resources to continually releasing diverse and innovative devices. Recently, the firm received a China IoT Innovation Award for its Siliconix SiR626DP 60 V TrenchFET Gen IV n-channel power MOSFET. The component provides maximum on-resistance of 1.7 mΩ at 10V, a reduction of 36% for the previous generation. The SiR626DP also offers increased power delivery efficiency within IoT systems by minimizing losses via simultaneous conduction and switching. The corporation also recently unveiled a new series of high-performance SMD aluminum electrolytic capacitors. The 152 CME and 192 CTX supply voltage up to 450V and can operate at temperatures ranging from -40°C to 125°C. The firm’s rugged automotive and industrial capacitors have a lifetime of 6,000 hours. In addition, Vishay has developed a line of cutting-edge diodes and rectifiers designed to support 5G-enabled handsets, autonomous vehicles, base stations, security systems, and smart homes. From humble beginnings, Vishay established itself as one of the world’s biggest and groundbreaking electronics component companies.
