EXPLANATORY NOTE

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), previously filed Registration Statements on Form S-8, File Nos. 333-144466 and 333-196143, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on July 10, 2007 and May 21, 2014, respectively (the “Prior Registration Statements”), with respect to an aggregate 6,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.10 per share (the “Common Stock”), issuable under the Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. 2007 Stock Incentive Program, as amended and restated on May 20, 2014 (the “Former Plan”) and predecessor plans.

On May 23, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), the Company’s stockholders approved the Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. 2023 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”) and, in connection therewith, no further awards will be made under the 2014 Plan. Pursuant to the terms of the 2023 Plan, (i) the number of shares of Common Stock that were subject to outstanding awards under the Former Plan as of the Effective Date that subsequently cease to be subject to such awards as a result of the termination, expiration, cancellation or forfeiture of such awards and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock withheld on or after the Effective Date in settlement of tax withholding obligations associated with outstanding awards under the Former Plan (other than a stock option or stock appreciation right) (collectively, the “Rollover Shares”), may become available for issuance under the 2023 Plan in accordance with the terms thereof. On the Effective Date, a total of 1,294,546 shares of Common Stock were subject to awards then outstanding under the Former Plan.

The Company is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statements on Form S-8 (this “Post-Effective Amendment”) pursuant to SEC Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 126.43 to amend the Prior Registration Statements to register the offer of an aggregate of 1,294,546 shares of Common Stock under the 2023 Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company is not hereby registering any additional shares of Common Stock that were not previously approved by the Company’s stockholders as of the Effective Date. Contemporaneously with the filing of this Post-Effective Amendment, the Company is filing a new registration statement on Form S-8 to register an additional 5,999,386 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the 2023 Plan, which was approved by the Company’s stockholders on the Effective Date.

Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement.  Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

Item 4.  Description of Securities.

Not applicable.

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Not applicable.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The Company is organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. The General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended (the “DGCL”), provides that a Delaware corporation has the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director or officer of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expense, liability or loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful. In the case of an action or suit brought by or in the right of the corporation, indemnification of any director, officer and other agent against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit is permitted if such person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; however, no indemnification is permitted in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery, or the court in which such action or suit was brought, shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

Article Ninth of the Company’s Corrected Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for the indemnification of any person (and the heirs, executors and administrators of such person) who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or of any other company, including another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise which such person serves or served as such at the request of the Company, in connection with or resulting from any action, suit, proceeding, investigation or claim, civil, criminal, administrative, legislative or other (including any criminal action, suit or proceeding in which such person enters a plea of guilty or nolo contendere or its equivalent), or any appeal relating thereto, which is brought or threatened either by or in the right of the Corporation or such other company (herein called a ”derivative action”) or by any other person, governmental authority or instrumentality (herein called a ”third-party action”) and in which such person is made a party or is otherwise involved by reason of such person being or having been such director, officer, employee or agent or by reason of any action or omission, or alleged action or omission by such person in such person’s capacity as such director, officer, employee or agent, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL and specifies procedures to be followed by the Company and any person requesting indemnification in connection with any claim.

Under the DGCL, a Delaware corporation has the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any director, officer, employee or other agent of the Company or, if serving in such capacity at the request of the Company, of another enterprise, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation has the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the DGCL. The Company has purchased directors and officers liability insurance. A Delaware corporation also may, with certain limitations, set forth in its certificate of incorporation a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director or officer to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of a fiduciary duty as a director or officer, provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of (1) a director or officer for any breach of the director’s or officer’s duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (2) a director or officer for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) a director under Section 174 of the DGCL (relating to unlawful payments of dividends or stock repurchases), (4) a director or officer for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit, or (5) an officer in any action by or in the right of the Company. Article Ninth of the Company’s Corrected Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation includes such a provision.

Item 7.  Exemption From Registration Claimed.

Not applicable.

Item 8.  Exhibits.

The exhibits filed as part of this Registration Statement are as follows:

Item 9.  Undertakings.

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i)	To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”);

(ii)

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Vishay Intertechnology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Post-Effective Amendment No.1 to Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File Nos. 333-144466 and 333-196143) (the “Post-Effective Amendment”), as filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on the date hereof, pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to register certain shares of common stock, par value $0.10 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company (the “Shares”), which may be issued by the Company from time to time pursuant to the Company’s 2023 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”), which Shares were originally authorized for issuance under the Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. 2007 Stock Incentive Program, as amended and restated on May 20, 2014 (the “Former Plan,” and together with the 2023 Plan, the “Plans”).  The maximum number of such Shares is 1,294,546, as further described in the “Explanatory Note” to the Post-Effective Amendment.

This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 8(a) of Form S-8 and Item 601(b)(5)(i) of Regulation S-K. No opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Post-Effective Amendment or the related prospectuses, other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the issuance of the Shares.

We have examined originals or copies of such corporate records, agreements and instruments of the Company, statements and certificates of public officials and officers of the Company, and such other documents, records and instruments, including the Plans, and we have made such legal and factual inquiries as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for us to render the opinions hereinafter expressed. In our examination of the foregoing, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal competence and capacity of natural persons, the accuracy and completeness of all documents submitted to us, the authenticity of documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity with authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies. As to all matters of fact, we have relied on the representations and statements of fact made in the documents so reviewed, and we have not independently established the facts so relied on.

In connection herewith, we have assumed that (i) all of the documents referred to in this opinion letter have been duly authorized by, have been duly executed and delivered by, and constitute the valid, binding and enforceable obligations of, all of the parties to such documents, (ii) all of the signatories to the documents referred to in this opinion letter have been duly authorized, and (iii) all of the parties to the documents referred to in this opinion letter are duly organized and validly existing and have the power and authority (corporate or other) to execute, deliver and perform such documents.

We do not purport to express an opinion on any laws other than the laws of the State of Delaware. The opinions set forth herein are made as of the date hereof and are subject to, and may be limited by, future changes in the factual matters set forth herein, and we undertake no duty to advise you of the same. The opinions expressed herein are based upon the law in effect (and published or otherwise generally available) on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to revise or supplement these opinions should such law be changed by legislative action, judicial decision or otherwise. In rendering our opinions, we have not considered, and hereby disclaim any opinion as to, the application or impact of any laws, cases, decisions, rules or regulations of any other jurisdiction, court or administrative agency.

Subject to the foregoing and the other matters set forth herein, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, when the Shares shall have been duly registered on the books of the transfer agent and registrar therefor in the name or on behalf of the purchasers and have been issued and sold by the Company as contemplated by the 2023 Plan, assuming in each case that the individual issuances, grants or awards under the 2023 Plan are duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and duly issued, granted or awarded and exercised in accordance with the requirements of law and the 2023 Plan (and the agreements and awards duly adopted thereunder and in accordance therewith), the Shares will be legally and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

We do not render any opinions except as set forth above. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Post-Effective Amendment. We also consent to your filing copies of this opinion as an exhibit to the Post-Effective Amendment with such agencies of such states as you deem necessary in the course of complying with the laws of such states regarding the offering and sale of the securities addressed herein. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required by Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by the Commission.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Troutman Pepper Hamilton Sanders LLP
