5 terms

electromagnetic compatibility (emc) technical

"provide high temperature operation to +155 °C and excellent electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) for filtering"

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is the ability of an electronic device or system to work properly without creating or being disrupted by unwanted electrical noise from other devices. For investors, EMC matters because failing to meet regulatory EMC standards can block sales, force expensive redesigns, cause recalls or fines, and slow product launches — like ensuring neighbors don't all shout at once so everyone can be heard without disturbance.

power factor correction (pfc) technical

"boost power factor correction (PFC) chokes in automotive, industrial, and solar and wind power"

Power factor correction (PFC) is a set of electrical measures or devices that make a facility use electricity more efficiently by aligning the flow of current with the voltage, reducing the portion of power that is wasted as heat or returned to the grid. For investors, PFC matters because it can lower energy bills, avoid utility penalties, reduce strain on equipment, and signal better operational discipline and lower ongoing costs for companies that operate heavy electrical loads.

rohs-compliant regulatory

"RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and Vishay Green, the IHXL1500VZ-3A"

RoHS-compliant means a product meets rules that limit or ban certain hazardous chemicals in electrical and electronic equipment, ensuring the item does not contain those restricted substances above set limits. For investors this matters because compliance affects a company's ability to sell in regulated markets, avoid fines and recalls, and manage production costs and supply-chain risks—similar to a food product following a recipe that omits banned ingredients to stay sellable and safe.

aec-q200 regulatory

"SRF typ. (MHz) | 7.6 to 37.8 | 5.1 to 19.1 AEC-Q200 | Yes | No | Yes | No"

AEC‑Q200 is an industry standard that defines stress tests and reliability requirements for passive electronic components (such as resistors, capacitors and inductors) used in vehicles. For investors, an AEC‑Q200 qualification signals that parts are designed and tested to survive harsh automotive conditions—like temperature swings, vibration and humidity—making products more likely to win automotive contracts and reduce warranty or field‑failure risk.

dc/dc converters technical

"serve as high current input filters, DC/DC converters, and DC-Link filters in battery charging"

A dc/dc converter is an electronic device that changes one direct-current voltage level to another—raising or lowering the voltage so electronic components and batteries get the right power. For investors, its efficiency, size and reliability matter because better converters improve product battery life, reduce heat and material costs, and can make devices more competitive, affecting manufacturing costs, margins and market adoption.

Offered at a Lower Cost Than Existing Solutions, Automotive Grade and Commercial Devices Deliver Enhanced EMC and Higher Inductance Up to 10 µH

MALVERN, Pa., May 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today expanded its IHXL series of radial through-hole inductors with four new devices designed to deliver enhanced performance at a lower cost. Featuring a new iron alloy core material that improves core losses by 20 % over previous-generation devices — while reducing temperature rise — the Automotive Grade IHXL1500VZ-3A and IHXL-2000VZ-3A and commercial IHXL1500VZ-31 and IHXL-2000VZ-31 provide high temperature operation to +155 °C and excellent electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) for filtering applications up to 209 A.

The Vishay Dale devices released today will serve as high current input filters, DC/DC converters, and DC-Link filters in battery charging systems, brushless DC motors (BLDC), and differential mode and boost power factor correction (PFC) chokes in automotive, industrial, and solar and wind power applications. Offered at a lower price point than previous-generation IHXL series devices, the inductors combine their improved core losses with higher inductance up to 10 µH, enabling increased impedance for better filtering and enhanced ripple current control in switching converters.

The IHXL1500VZ-3A, IHXL1500VZ-31, IHXL-2000VZ-3A, and IHXL-2000VZ-31 feature a magnetically shielded construction with a pressed powdered iron body that contains stray flux, minimizing coupling to surrounding components and maximizing EMC compared to traditional wirewound devices with exposed internal coils. This pressed powdered iron construction also offers low internal thermal resistance — reducing hotspots and enhancing performance with active cooling — while a flat top surface simplifies mounting of external heatsinks.

The inductors’ thick internal copper conductor supports a wide range of loads from 55 A to 209 A in the 1500 (38.1 mm x 38.1 mm x 21.89 mm) and 2000 (50.8 mm x 50.8 mm x 21.7 mm) case sizes. Their soft saturation core material ensures stable inductance across a wide range of load conditions — including during high transient current spikes — by avoiding hard saturation. RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and Vishay Green, the IHXL1500VZ-3A, IHXL1500VZ-31, IHXL-2000VZ-3A, and IHXL-2000VZ-31 provide high resistance to thermal shock, moisture, and mechanical shock, and are available with custom termination styles, inductance values, current, temperature, and voltage ratings.
