Automated external defibrillators (AED) must charge fast, deliver a precise shock, and stay ready for years on standby battery power. Vishay's high voltage resistors handle the extreme voltages the charging circuit demands, while custom transformers and inductors are engineered for high reliability and efficient operation that extends battery life. Hybrid storage capacitors provide the power backup these life-saving devices depend on, backed by six decades of medical component experience and rigorous MIL-spec environmental testing.

Behind every shock is The DNA of tech.®
