September 17, 2024 /SemiMedia/ — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. recently announced a significant expansion of its inductor product lines, adding a broad array of new products designed to provide customers with enhanced options for achieving specific cost /performance ratios in their designs. The broadened portfolio will simplify the sourcing process for Vishay’s customers, offering a wider range of device options at various price points.

This expansion includes new product offerings that cater to applications requiring higher inductance—by an order of magnitude—and higher voltage inductors. Additionally, Vishay has introduced more size variations, ensuring that customers can find suitable inductors for any available PCB space, no matter how small.

The bolstered product line also features improved noise reduction capabilities with a wider range of common-mode products, broadening Vishay’s inductor capabilities across telecom, industrial, and consumer markets. The new devices being added include wireless charging inductors, shielded and semi-shielded drum core inductors, common-mode chokes, coupled inductors, trans-inductance voltage regulator inductors (TLVR), high current ferrite impedance beads, and more.

As part of this strategic expansion, Vishay is investing in capacity upgrades and extending its IHLP® production capabilities in all facilities, including its recently inaugurated La Laguna plant in Gómez Palacio, Durango, Mexico, as well as China, and other areas of the Southeast Asia region. The capacity investment is continuing to position Vishay to better serve the global market.

“Our commitment to providing our customers with optimized cost vs. performance, capacity readiness with short lead times, and breadth of product is at the forefront of this expansion,” said Mike Husman, Senior Vice President, Inductor Division, at Vishay. “This ambitious undertaking will result in the addition of 1800 additional SKUs across more than 70 series, further solidifying Vishay as the go-to source for inductor technology. With this product and capacity expansion, we are better positioned to meet the latest demand and continue delivering innovative solutions that support our customers’ evolving design requirements.”
