At the end of Thursday’s trade, Vishay Intertechnology (NYSE:VSH)‘s shares dipped -2.82% to $13.08.
Vishay Intertechnology (VSH) declared that it has extended its RCWE series of thick film surface-mount wraparound chip resistors with new devices in the 0612 and 1020 case sizes. Featuring long side terminations, the Vishay Dale RCWE0612 and RCWE1020 provide four times the power dissipation of standard devices in equivalent 1206 and 2010 footprints, saving space and reducing component counts in telecommunications, computer, industrial, and consumer applications.
The long side terminations of the RCWE0612 and RCWE1020 provide a shorter path for heat dissipation to the PCB, allowing them to provide improved power ratings to 1 W and 2 W, respectively. In addition, their construction reduces the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) mismatch with the PCB, which enhances reliability by reducing the possibility of solder joint cracks resulting from thermal cycles.
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. manufactures and supplies discrete semiconductors and passive components in the United States, Europe, and Asia. The company operates in five segments: MOSFETs, Diodes, Optoelectronic Components, Resistors & Inductors, and Capacitors.
