BEYSCHLAG – VISHAY

The Beyschlag name stands for thin film technology, continuous innovation, excellence in service and logistics, and customer-oriented solutions.

BCcomponents (Beyschlag Centralab components), a leading manufacturer of passive electronic components, emerged from Philips Electronics Components division in January 1999. Building upon the tradition of excellence associated with Beyschlag, Philips, and Centralab, BCcomponents carried out, in close cooperation with customers, a continuous process of product innovation and improvement. This tradition of excellence included the development of several products that have become industry standards, such as SMD Mini-MELF resistors (branded Vishay Beyschlag) and a range of aluminum capacitors with industry-leading temperature capabilities. BCcomponents earned the status of preferred supplier to many of the world’s leading electronics companies.

The Beyschlag product line features thin film fuses, representing the company’s commitment to thin film technology, continuous innovation, excellent service and logistics, and customer-focused solutions. Founded in 1931, Beyschlag quickly established itself as a leading European manufacturer and a preferred supplier to many top electronics companies worldwide. From its inception, the company has prioritized customer satisfaction. Originally based in Berlin, Germany, Beyschlag began by producing rectifiers for the burgeoning radio industry and soon expanded to carbon film resistors.

In 1974, Beyschlag relocated to Heide, Germany. It was part of Philips Components until 1999, when Philips divested its passive components business to create BCComponents. Vishay subsequently acquired BCComponents in 2002.
