MALVERN, PENNSYLVANIA — May 16, 2008 — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today announced a new toroidal, high-current, high-temperature inductor that offers the industry's highest rated and saturation current, and the industry’s lowest inductance and DCR.

With a high operating temperature rating to +200°C and a toroidal design to reduce EMI, the new TJ3-HT inductor is optimized for switching power supplies, EMI/RFI filtering, and output chokes in automotive, and deep well drilling products.

The low-cost device offers designers horizontal and vertical mount options to optimize the PCB layout. With 10 standard inductance values to choose from, the inductor features a maximum DCR range from 0.108Ω down to 0.0016Ω when vertically mounted, and 0.118Ω to 0.002Ω when horizontally mounted.

The TJ3-HT offers a wide inductance range from 100μH down to 0.39μH, with a high rated current from 2.25A up to 32A, and saturation current from 1.15A up to 23A. The inductor provides low magnetic radiation and is RoHS compliant. Custom values and current ratings are available upon request.

Samples and production quantities of the new TJ3-HT inductor are available now. Lead time for production quantities is 10 weeks.
