Vishay Semiconductor

Vishay Semiconductor, originally established as the Semiconductor Components Division of General Instrument in 1960, has evolved into a leading force in the discrete semiconductor market. After becoming an independent entity in 1997 and acquiring ITT Industries' small signal diode business, General Semiconductor solidified its reputation for innovation and excellence. Vishay Intertechnology's acquisition of General Semiconductor in 2001 propelled the company to the forefront of power rectification and transient voltage suppression technology, making it a trusted partner for manufacturers across various industries.

Today, Vishay Semiconductor offers a diverse array of products designed for high-performance applications, including rectifiers, voltage regulators, and signal modulators. Their flagship TMBS® rectifiers are renowned for their advanced design, providing superior efficiency and thermal performance in automotive systems, such as LED headlights and electronic control units (ECUs). Additionally, the company's robust lineup includes Ultrafast, fast, standard, bridge, and isoCink+™ power bridge rectifiers, catering to a broad spectrum of consumer electronics and telecommunications equipment.

A key focus for Vishay Semiconductor is circuit protection, exemplified by its industry-leading TransZorb® and PAR® transient voltage suppressors (TVS), which shield sensitive components from voltage spikes in demanding applications. With an emphasis on miniaturization and thermal efficiency, Vishay’s eSMP® package series features a unique design that optimizes space and reliability, making it a preferred choice in automotive, industrial, and computing environments.
