Vishay Intertechnology Thick Film Resistor Sample Kits Simplify Device Selection and Validation, Accelerate Time to Market

MALVERN, Pa., Sept. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced four thick film resistor sample kits designed to simplify component selection and validation for high power designs, while reducing time to market. Providing complete, evaluation-ready solutions, each kit includes surface-mount, Automotive Grade devices in TO-252 (DPAK) and TO-263 (D²PAK) packages, with high power ratings, a wide range of resistance values, and an optional PCB test board to enable fast, reliable electrical and thermal evaluation.

Devices in the Vishay Sfernice D2TO20, D2TO35, DTO35, and DTO35 / D2TO35 sample kits offer high power ratings of 20 W and 35 W in their compact, surface-mount packages. This high power density allows designers to reduce the number of parallel resistors or larger through-hole devices required, saving board space. Ideal for automotive, industrial, and other high reliability designs, all resistors in the kits are AEC-Q200 qualified, eliminating the need for additional component qualification during development.
