MALVERN, PA — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) recently announced that their IHPT-1411AF-ABA AEC-Q200 qualified haptic feedback actuator has been honored with a 2023 AspenCore World Electronics Achievement Award. The award, which falls under the High Performance Passive / Discrete Devices category, recognizes the product’s superior features and performance in automotive applications.
AspenCore, the world’s largest media group within the technical electronics sector, presents the World Electronics Achievement Awards (WEAA) annually to honor companies and individuals who significantly contribute to innovation and development in the global electronics industry. The winners are selected by a panel of senior industry analysts from AspenCore, as well as through online voting by engineers worldwide.
Vishay’s IHPT-1411AF-ABA actuator stood out for its exceptional performance. With a fast response time of less than 5 ms, the device can produce multiple high-definition (HD) haptic effects with operating voltages up to 16 V. Its low 12 V operation eliminates the need for additional high voltage supplies, resulting in up to 40% cost savings compared to other technologies. The actuator also offers higher force density and reduced component height compared to competing technologies like linear resonant, linear wideband, eccentric rotating mass, and piezo actuators.
The IHPT-1411AF-ABA actuator is ideal for rugged environments, with an operating temperature range up to +105 °C. It’s versatile enough to be used in various automotive applications, such as dashboards, center consoles, and touchscreens for human-machine interfaces. Additionally, it can provide tactile feedback for electronic shift transmissions, steering wheels, seats, and other in-vehicle controls.
The IHPT-1411AF-ABA comes bundled with patent licenses for Immersion Corporation’s haptic technology, making the design-in process simpler and eliminating the need for a separate license to implement haptic effects.
The award ceremony took place during the Global CEO Summit on November 2nd in Shenzhen, China. Arthur Choy, Operations Director, and Bruce Tang, Product Marketing Manager of Vishay China, accepted the award on behalf of the company.
