Vishay Intertechnology introduced the VORA1150, a 1500 V automotive‑grade 1 Form A solid‑state relay in a 4‑pin SMD‑8 package, specifically engineered for 800 V battery monitoring systems in electric vehicles, energy‑storage installations, and industrial applications.
The relay delivers a 1414 V peak repetitive isolation voltage, a maximum leakage current of 1 µA, and a 5 mm creepage distance on its output pins, meeting DIN EN‑60644‑1 and AEC‑Q102 automotive‑grade requirements. Its 150 µs turn‑on and 250 µs turn‑off times, operating temperature range of –40 °C to +125 °C, and RoHS‑compliant, halogen‑free construction make it a reliable, safety‑certified component for high‑voltage battery architectures.
Vishay’s Q3 2025 results showed revenue of $790.6 million, up 7.5 % from $735.35 million a year earlier, and an adjusted EPS of $0.04, while GAAP reported a loss per share of $(0.06). The company guided Q4 revenue to $790 million ± $20 million and a gross profit margin of 19.5 % ± 50 basis points, signaling confidence in continued demand for high‑growth markets. Capital expenditures for 2025 are projected at $300 million to $350 million, largely directed toward capacity expansion under the Vishay 3.0 initiative and silicon‑carbide development.
President and CEO Joel Smejkal noted that the company’s revenue growth reflects alignment with high‑growth sectors such as smart‑grid infrastructure, AI‑related power needs, automotive, and aerospace/defense, and that the VORA1150 launch is part of a broader strategy to capture the expanding 800 V battery market.
The announcement was well received by investors, reflecting confidence in Vishay’s expansion into high‑voltage battery monitoring and its broader focus on electrification and renewable‑energy markets.
The VORA1150 positions Vishay to capitalize on the accelerating adoption of 800 V battery architectures in electric vehicles and energy‑storage systems, while the company continues to invest in capacity expansion and margin improvement to support long‑term growth.
