Vishay Intertechnology (NYSE: VSH) has expanded its frequency control portfolio with new surface-mount crystals and oscillators. The expansion includes six new crystal series and three oscillator series, featuring smaller package sizes down to 1.6mm x 1.2mm for crystals and 2.0mm x 1.6mm for oscillators. These compact designs reduce board space requirements and lower costs by up to 40% compared to current 5mm x 7mm packages.

The new crystals operate in a frequency range of 12 MHz to 60 MHz, plus a 32.768 kHz tuning fork crystal, with frequency tolerances of ±20 ppm or better at 25°C. The oscillators cover 1.0 MHz to 125 MHz. Both product lines feature improved temperature stabilities of ±25 ppm or better, surpassing existing standards of ±50 ppm for crystals and ±100 ppm for oscillators. Custom options for stability, tolerance, and operating temperature range are available.

Vishay Intertechnology (NYSE: VSH) has introduced enhanced precision thin film MELF resistors with improved specifications. The AEC-Q200 qualified resistors in 0102, 0204, and 0207 case sizes now feature low TCR down to ± 15 ppm/K, tight tolerances down to ± 0.1%, and high resistance values up to 10 MΩ.

The new precision MMA 0204 offers 10 times higher resistance (5.11 MΩ) compared to previous versions, enabling a single resistor to replace multiple lower-value devices. This improvement saves space, simplifies designs, and reduces costs. The resistors are designed for current sensing in automotive ADAS, LIDAR, connectivity, and camera systems, as well as telecom, industrial, and medical equipment.

Vishay Intertechnology (NYSE: VSH) has introduced the VOR1060M4, a new 1 Form A solid-state relay featuring 600 V load voltage and 3750 VRMS isolation voltage in a compact SOP-4 package. The device offers fast turn-on time of 0.3 ms and low leakage current of 2 nA, making it suitable for energy storage, industrial, and mobility applications.

The relay combines an infrared emitter and photovoltaic diode for safety-critical applications. It's designed for isolated switching in inverters, motor controls, battery management systems, industrial drives, power tools, security systems, and instrumentation. The industrial-grade device is RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and Vishay Green, with samples and production quantities available now with eight-week lead times.

Vishay Intertechnology's VCNL36828P fully integrated proximity sensor has received two prestigious awards: the 2024 China IoT Innovation Award and the 2024 EE Awards Asia Award.
