Our focus on strategic collaboration is evident in key capacity expansions, such as the acquisition of Newport and the construction of a new fab in Itzehoe, demonstrating our strong commitment to growth and customer-centric solutions. To better serve our customers, we are scaling our capacity and enhancing our service to meet the increasing demand for localized manufacturing. This includes the La Laguna factory in Durango, Mexico, and an expansion in Juarez, ensuring products are produced closer to where they will be consumed.

"Take advantage of Vishay's new TVS diodes and resistor chip pricing, all lower than the competition! Also, the new single column IHLP inductor pricing guarantees the lowest price available, without needing to request a quote. These significant changes are putting Avnet in a position to win in the market."

Avnet

IHLP – Power Inductor

Old Pricing: Multiple Column Pricing

Customers were required to purchase a specific quantity to receive discounted costs. The larger the quantity purchased, the greater the cost savings.

New Pricing: Single Column Pricing

Customers will receive the lowest price available, regardless of the quantity purchased. The new VPA Single Column Pricing offers a better cost than the final column in the previous pricing model.

SMAJ, SMBJ, SMCJ – TVS Diodes

Old Pricing: Limited Flexibility
Vishay's pricing for TVS Diodes did not line up with the competition. Sales reps would need to reach out for a quote to see any sort of discount on the price.

New Pricing: Built-in Discounts
Across the TVS Diodes technology, Vishay prices decreased -- no need for a quote request! These new prices are lower than Bourns, Littelfuse, ST Micro, and Diodes, Inc., as confirmed by Avnet.

Look for the following price reductions:

SMAJ: Vishay decreased price by 12-14%
SMBJ: Vishay decreased price by 8-16%
SMCJ: Vishay decreased price by 10-12%

CRCW – Thick Film Resistor Chips

Old Pricing: Minimum Quantity Pricing

Important to note that this pricing is still valid for orders with small MSQ

New Pricing: Super VPA

The new Super VPA pricing is half of Vishay’s old cost. Vishay’s new pricing is very competitive against Vishay’s competition: Koa, Panasonic, and Stackpole.
