Vishay

Vishay has grown through acquisitions to include such top names as Dale, Sfernice, Draloric, Sprague, Vitramon, Siliconix, General Semiconductor, BCcomponents, and Beyschlag. Vishay’s portfolio of brands represents an unmatched collection of discrete semiconductors and passive components. All of these brands and products are part of one global manufacturer: Vishay.

Vishay is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of discrete semiconductors and passive electronic components, serving virtually every electronics market — including industrial, computing, automotive, consumer, telecommunications, military, aerospace, and medical sectors.

With sales offices worldwide and manufacturing facilities across China, five other Asian countries, Europe, and the Americas, Vishay operates on a truly global scale. Its commitment to innovation, strategic acquisitions, cost efficiency, and comprehensive product offerings has established Vishay as a trusted “one-stop shop” and industry leader.

Founded in 1962 to produce and market foil resistors, Vishay has evolved from a small start-up into the world’s foremost manufacturer of these products. Over the years, it has expanded through the acquisition of renowned companies such as Siliconix, Telefunken, the infrared components business of Infineon, General Semiconductor, Dale, Draloric, Sprague, Vitramon, and BCcomponents (formerly part of Philips Electronics and Beyschlag). In 2007, Vishay further strengthened its portfolio by acquiring selected discrete semiconductor and module product lines from International Rectifier.

Today, Vishay offers the industry’s most comprehensive range of high-quality, high-reliability, and energy-efficient electronic components — including capacitors, inductors, and resistors. Designed for exceptional performance, Vishay products help extend equipment life, boost productivity, and reduce maintenance and operational costs.
