General Semiconductor

Vishay General Semiconductor traces its origins to the founding of the Semiconductor Components Division of General Instrument, in Hicksville, New York in 1960. In 1997, the power semiconductor business of General Instrument became an independent, publicly traded company, General Semiconductor. The same year, General Semiconductor acquired the small signal diode business of ITT Industries. Inc.

Today, Vishay General Semiconductor serves a very wide range of customers with devices that can be used as rectifiers, signal limiters, voltage regulators, switches, signal modulators, signal mixers, signal demodulators, and oscillators. Vishay General Semiconductor customers include leading manufacturers of consumer electronics, lighting, telecommunications equipment, computers, and automotive products.
