November 10, 2010 -- RS Components has further strengthened its relationship with Vishay following the completion of a European distribution agreement. The new agreement means that RS now formally represents Vishay, one of the largest manufacturers of discrete semiconductors, around the globe through three regional agreements.

RS holds a stock profile of over 11,000 products for next-day delivery. The range features a vast selection of passive components, including tantalum, aluminium and film capacitors, variable, power and thin-film resistors and magnetics, alongside a growing semiconductor portfolio. Vishay products are being supported by RS through a Brand microsite in the Electronics Centre on rswww.com/vishay, which brings together product, market and application guides as well as data for the full range of Vishay components.
