For over 60 years, Vishay engineers have worked alongside design teams to create components that standard catalogs can't supply. From single-run prototypes to full production scale, we serve every major industry with the same engineering depth and manufacturing infrastructure.
Sometimes a standard component gets you 90% of the way there. Our engineers can adjust tolerances, packaging, electrical characteristics, or form factor to close that gap without the lead time or cost of a ground-up design.
Typical Requests
Tighter tolerance specs, configuration termination styles, modified voltage ratings, alternative package footprints.
When your application has no existing analog, our engineering teams work from your design requirements up. We collaborate from initial concept through prototype validation and into production-ready manufacturing.
Typical Requests
Application-specific multi-component assemblies, novel material combinations, hybrid integrated designs, extreme environment specifications.
Design-In Solutions developed through this program are created exclusively for you. We do not add re-configured or application-specific designs to our general product catalog or make them available to any other party. Your requirements, your specifications, and your intellectual property remain confidential throughout every stage of our engagement.

Have a system-level or multi-component challenge? Our engineers will help you scope the right solution.
Every Design-In Solutions engagement starts with a conversation and ends with a component built to your specification. What happens in between depends on the complexity of your project, the component type, and how far along your design is when we connect. Our engineering teams work at every stage, from early concept to production validation, and we will be direct with you about what your project requires.

Challenge
A customer’s satellite design incorporated a power module that required tight temperature control to ensure the various components included in the circuit performed at an optimal level. To achieve this, heat would have to be transferred from one area of the board to a heatsink, while still having standard RF lines with a TiW / Au metal stack.
Challenge
An aerospace customer required a planar transformer for a high power military avionics application, but did not have the full design specifications finalized. However, it was known that overall board space would be limited, and that the transformer’s height profile would also be a concern.
Challenge
Our customer was designing a pulsed application that required a high power 1000 W resistor at high frequencies. Frequent cycling of high power can cause the different materials in the resistor to expand and contract rapidly at different rates. As a result, this thermal mismatch in the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of the various materials can have very destructive effects, including device / system failure. Standard flanged resistors in these types of applications typically fail after 600 cycles to 1000 cycles, while the customer in this application required significantly higher reliability for the design to be successful.
Our application engineers are available to discuss your requirements. Whether you have a finished spec or just a problem that needs solving, the right conversation starts here.
