This prospectus supplement relates to the resale by the selling

successors) of up to $500 million aggregate principal amount of 3 5/8%
Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2023 issued by Vishay Intertechnology, Inc.
and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes.
This prospectus supplement should be read in conjunction with the
prospectus dated March 4, 2004, as supplemented, which is to be delivered with
this prospectus supplement, and this prospectus supplement is qualified by
reference to the prospectus, except to the extent that the information in this
prospectus supplement supercedes the information contained in the prospectus.
This prospectus supplement is not complete without, and may not be delivered or
utilized except in connection with, the prospectus, including any amendments or
supplements to it.
Investing in the notes or the common stock offered by the prospectus
involves risks that are described in the "Risk Factors" section beginning on
page 7 of the prospectus.
______________
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission, any state securities
commission nor any other regulatory body has approved or disapproved of these
securities or determined if this prospectus supplement is truthful or complete.
Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
______________
The date of this prospectus supplement is December 15, 2004.
The information in the table appearing under the heading "Selling
Securityholders" beginning on page 54 of the prospectus, as supplemented, is
amended by adding the information below with respect to persons not previously
listed in the prospectus, and by superceding the information below with respect
to persons previously listed in the prospectus.
The following table sets forth certain information as of the date noted,
concerning the principal amount of notes beneficially owned by each selling
securityholder and the number of shares of common stock that may be offered from
time to time by each selling securityholder under this prospectus. The
information is based on information provided by or on behalf of the selling
securityholders. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion
of the notes shown in the table below assumes conversion of the full amount of
notes held by each holder at an initial conversion price of $21.28 per share.
This conversion price is subject to adjustments in certain circumstances.
Because the selling securityholders may offer all or some portion of the notes
or the common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes, we have assumed for
purposes of the table below that the selling securityholders will sell all of
the notes or convert all of the notes and sell all of the common stock issuable
upon conversion of the notes offered by the prospectus. The selling
securityholders identified below may have sold, transferred or otherwise
disposed of all or a portion of their notes since the date on which they
provided the information regarding their notes in transactions exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act. Information about the selling
securityholders may change over time. Any changed information furnished to us by
the selling securityholders will be set forth in prospectus supplements to the
extent required.

Certain selling securityholders are, or are affiliates of, registered
broker-dealers. These selling securityholders have represented that they
acquired their securities in the ordinary course of business and, at the time of
the acquisition of the securities, had no agreements or understandings, directly
or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities. Each selling
securityholder that is a registered broker-dealer is an "underwriter" within the
meaning of the Securities Act of 1933.
** Assumes conversion of all of the holder's notes at a conversion rate of
46.9925 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount at maturity of the
notes. This conversion rate is subject to adjustment as described under
"Description of Notes--Conversion Rights." As a result, the number of shares of
common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes may change in the future.
Excludes any additional shares of common stock that may be
2
issued by us upon the repurchase of the notes and fractional shares. Holders
will receive a cash adjustment for any fractional share amount resulting from
conversion of the notes, as described under "Description of Notes--Conversion
Rights" in the prospectus.
*** Based on the outstanding shares of Vishay as of December 13, 2004, the
selling securityholder would not beneficially own in excess of 1% of the
outstanding shares following the sale of securities in the offering.
