Vishay launches new polymer capacitors for aerospace applications

MALVERN, Pa. - Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE:VSH), a $2.1 billion market cap manufacturer with strong liquidity metrics and a 12-year track record of consistent dividend payments, announced on Wednesday the release of its DLA 04051 series of vPolyTan polymer surface-mount chip capacitors designed for high-reliability aerospace, military, and space applications.

The new capacitors meet Defense Logistics Agency military specifications and feature ultra-low equivalent series resistance (ESR) as low as 25 mΩ, which is lower than traditional tantalum capacitors, according to the company’s press release. According to InvestingPro data, Vishay’s stock has shown strong momentum with a 47% gain over the past six months, suggesting investor confidence in the company’s strategic initiatives.

The components offer capacitance ranging from 4.7 μF to 680 μF with voltage ratings from 2.5 V to 63 V. Vishay stated the capacitors have undergone 2,000 hours of testing at 125 °C to validate long-term reliability.

The DLA 04051 series provides mechanical durability with shock resistance up to 500 g and vibration resistance meeting MIL-STD-202-204 Level D standards. The capacitors can also withstand 10 thermal shock cycles per MIL-STD-202-107.

Vishay indicated the new series serves as a second source to Yageo/Kemet offerings, ensuring compatibility for critical military and aerospace systems.

The company said samples and production quantities are currently available with lead times of 35 weeks.
