Industrial PCs have to be built for a variety of purposes including automation, POS, motor control, display, and test/measurement applications. Often comprising of single-board computers and backplanes which share an underlying design requirement - the need to provide a controlled environment for the installed electronics to survive the rigors of harsh usage environments and conditions. Electronic components are selected for their ability to withstand higher and lower operating temperatures than typical commercial components. Vishay offers a broad based product line of high-performance interface and power products which conform to an Industrial temperature range of -40 ℃ to 85 ℃.

Automation, data communications, and distributed generation are developed enough now to support the concept of a smart grid. This is a digitally enabled electrical grid that gathers, distributes, and acts on information about the behavior of all participants (suppliers and consumers) using Smart Meter technology while improving the efficiency, reliability and sustainability of electricity services. Vishay provides a comprehensive range of IC and FCP products for Smart Grid applications, that include PCIe Bridge/Packet Switches, ReDrivers, Clock generators and Power/Signal switches, that all meet the requirements of a wider range temperature, low power and smaller package profile to support this growing trend.

Vishay Distributor's system expertise and large selection of reference designs allow engineers to design smarter, more robust Industrial systems that create safer and efficient environments for Industrial market.
