Vishay Intertechnology, Inc., an international company with corporate headquarters in Malvern, announced plans last week to show off its latest technology March 16-20 at the Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition in Fort Worth, Texas.

Vishay is a Fortune 1000 Company and one of the world’s largest manufacturers of discrete semiconductors (diodes, MOSFETs, and infrared optoelectronics) and passive electronic components (resistors, inductors, and capacitors).

These components are used in virtually all types of electronic devices and equipment. Vishay components are sought for the industrial, computing, automotive, consumer, telecommunications, military, aerospace, power supplies and medical markets.

Vishay Intertechnology was founded 50 years ago by Dr. Felix Zandman. Zandman named the firm after his Lithuanian ancestral village in memory of family members who perished in the Holocaust.

A company that began as a man’s vision to build a business dream and honor the dead has grown over the years to become a leader in the global electronics industry. Vishay acquisitions include the firms Dale, Sfernice, Draloric, Sprague, Vitramon, Siliconix, General Semiconductor, BCcomponents and Beyschlag.

In Fort Worth Vishay will demonstrate a wide variety of its latest capacitors, resistors and inductors. Featured capacitors will include Vishay metallized polypropylene film capacitors for DC-link applications; aluminum electrolytic capacitors with ultra-long life; Vishay ESTA cylindrical capacitors for power electronics (PEC); and single- and three-phase power factor correction (PFC) capacitors.

Highlights from Vishay’s line of resistors will include water-cooled power devices; thick film power resistors; high-power wirewound devices; Vishay Dale Power Metal Strip® resistors; and the industry’s first axial silicone cemented, fusible wirewound safety resistor designed to ensure safe and silent fusing operation during overload conditions. In addition, Vishay will provide demonstrations of the pulse load performance of it SMD film resistors.

Vishay’s product innovations, successful acquisition strategy, and “one-stop shop” service have made it a global industry leader.
