Vishay’s space-grade transformers named finalist for 2025 Elektra Awards

MALVERN, Pa. - Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE:VSH), a $2.1 billion electronic components manufacturer trading at $15.49 per share, announced Thursday that its SGTPL-28 series of 150 W low profile, space-grade planar transformers has been selected as a finalist for the 2025 Elektra Awards in the Passive/Interconnection/Electromechanical Product of the Year category.

The SGTPL-28 series, designed for 28 V input forward converters in aerospace and defense applications, meets MIL-PRF-27 level T, INST-EEE-002, and MIL-STD-981 requirements while offering reduced cost, smaller size, and higher density compared to traditional planar transformers, according to the company. According to InvestingPro analysis, Vishay maintains a FAIR financial health score, with liquid assets exceeding short-term obligations at a current ratio of 2.7.

The transformers feature multiple secondary windings with a center tap capable of powering up to two 12 V channels or four 5 V channels. They operate in temperatures up to 130°C and are designed to withstand thermal shock cycles and high levels of mechanical shock and vibration.

Vishay reports the devices provide up to 40% greater winding fill than traditional planar transformers, resulting in smaller package size and improved efficiency. The company offers six screening options and customization capabilities.

The Elektra Awards, presented by Electronics Weekly magazine, recognize excellence and innovation in the global electronics industry. Winners will be announced at a ceremony in London on December 9.

The announcement was made in a press release statement from Vishay Intertechnology, which manufactures discrete semiconductors and passive electronic components for various markets including automotive, industrial, computing, and aerospace.
