Vishay Draloric is a global leader in the manufacture of thin film components and networks on ceramic and silicon including resistors, capacitors, inductors, and microwave components, specialized in thin-film resistive products using tantalum nitride. Products branded Vishay / Draloric include discrete resistors, resistor arrays, resistor networks, discrete capacitors, capacitor arrays, resistor / capacitor filter networks, and inductors. High quality, patterned, thin-film substrates are produced in volume for both the hybrid circuit and microwave industries for military and industrial hybrid circuit applications.
Draloric is a global leader in the manufacture of thin film components and networks on ceramic and silicon, including resistors, capacitors, inductors, and microwave components, specializing in thin-film resistive products using tantalum nitride. In 1900, in Germany, Mr. Philip Rosenthal, alongside his established porcelain tableware business, began manufacturing ceramics for electronic applications. By 1910, these products were also made in Selb, Germany. In 1936, this electronic ceramics activity separated from Rosenthal AG and became part of a joint venture with AEG, named Rosenthal Isolatoren GmbH, or “RIG.” This name persisted until 1974 when AEG took full control of RIG and renamed it “CRL” to reflect its portfolio of passive components. Later that same year, it was rebranded as Draloric Electronic GmbH. In 1981, Corning Glass Works’ electronics division acquired Draloric Electronic GmbH and renamed it Corning-Draloric, a name that lasted until its acquisition by Vishay Intertechnology in 1987.
Vishay’s acquisitions include top names like Draloric and BCcomponents (formerly part of Philips Electronics and Beyschlag’s passive components businesses). These brands and their products are integrated into Vishay, a global company.
Vishay Draloric is a leading brand for MELF resistors and ceramic capacitor products. The Vishay Draloric product portfolio also includes thin film flat chip resistors, leaded film and wirewound resistors, and large ceramic power capacitors. Products branded Vishay/Draloric include discrete resistors, resistor arrays, resistor networks, discrete capacitors, capacitor arrays, resistor/capacitor filter networks, and inductors. High-quality, patterned, thin-film substrates are produced in volume for the hybrid circuit and microwave industries, catering to military and industrial hybrid circuit applications.
Vishay was founded in 1962 to manufacture and market foil resistors, an invention by Dr. Felix Zandman, Executive Chairman of the Board and founder. By 1985, Vishay had grown from a start-up into the world’s leading manufacturer of these original products and began a series of strategic acquisitions to become a broadline manufacturer of electronic components. Today, Vishay is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of passive electronic components.
Draloric is a world wide corporation supplying many different products and services to many different industries. One of those industries includes the industrial manufacturing industry and electronic component/semiconductor products. Draloric Semiconductor was an ON Semiconductor company. In 1987, Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. acquired Draloric Electronic GmbH in Selb, Germany. The roots of the Selb company go back to the year 1900, when the locally based Rosenthal porcelain factory founded Division E to develop technical ceramics for resistors and insulators. Products designed and manufactured by Vishay Draloric include motor driver ICs, power supply ICs, LED driver ICs, discrete devices, flash memory/EEPROMs, microcontrollers, audio ICs, data communication ICs, sensors and more. Automotive, portable electronic devices, and visual applications are all markets Draloric direct their products toward.
