Vishay was founded in 1962 by Dr. Felix Zandman with funds raised from his cousin, Alfred P. Slaner, and named after Dr. Zandman's ancestral village in Lithuania in honor of family members lost in the war. The company's initial products included foil resistors and foil resistance strain gages.

By 1985, the company had grown to become a leading global manufacturer of these products and began a series of strategic acquisitions to become a manufacturer of electronic components with a wide range of products. Today, Vishay produces one of the world's largest portfolios of discrete semiconductors and passive electronic components that are critical to innovative designs in the automotive, industrial, computing, consumer electronics, telecommunications, military, aerospace and medical markets.

Key product lines: capacitors, resistors, inductors, diodes, transistors, transformers, MOS, power supply chips.

VISHAY's specially patented Schottky diodes offer a blocking voltage range of 45 V to 200 V and higher switching performance. The new devices feature 0.88 mm thin and wettable sides for space savings, improved thermal performance and efficiency.
