Vishay To Present Broad Range of Product Demonstrations At electronica 2006 in Munich, Germany


MALVERN, PENNSYLVANIA November 7, 2006 Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) will be presenting over two dozen different product demonstrations at the electronica 2006 show, to be held November 14 17 at the New Trade Fair Center in Munich, Germany. The demonstrations will highlight performance characteristics of a number of Vishay discrete semiconductors and passive electronic components. The electronica trade show, held every two years in Germany, presents the worlds largest range of electronic components and application-oriented assemblies.

Vishay will be participating at electronica 2006 with exhibits at four locations within the New Trade Fair Center:

Main Booth: A5.143
Solutions Booth: A5.142
Automotive Innovation Booth: A6.A55
Wireless Communications Booth: A4.W14
"Vishays product demonstrations are an essential part of our presence at electronica 2006," stated Dr. Felix Zandman, Vishays Chairman and Chief Technical and Business Development Officer. "They use key technical criteria to show how Vishay components, a number of which utilize patented or industry-best technology, outperform competing components. As a group, our product demonstrations indicate the breadth and depth of Vishays extensive product portfolio, which is one of the industrys broadest."

All Vishay product demonstrations will be held at electronicas Main Booth (A5.143), except for the demonstration of Vishays wireless JetWeigh-W(TM) Aircraft Weighing System at Booth A4.W14. Below is a complete list of the demonstrations:
