                  PURSUANT TO COMPANY NOTICE DATED MAY 5, 2004

                                                                     May 5, 2004

To Brokers, Dealers, Commercial Banks,
  Trust Companies and other Nominees:

    This letter relates to the purchase of Liquid Yield Option'TM' Notes due
2021 (Zero Coupon-Subordinated) (LYONs)* of VISHAY INTERTECHNOLOGY, INC., at the
option of the holders of the LYONs. The option is pursuant to the terms and
conditions specified in paragraph 7 of the LYONs, the indenture dated June 4,
2001 that governs the LYONs and the company notice, dated May 5, 2004, relating
to the option.

    Vishay will pay to holders who validly exercise the option a purchase price
of $602.77 per $1,000 principal amount at maturity of the LYONs, on the purchase
date of June 4, 2004. The purchase price will be paid in the form of shares of
common stock, except as set forth below. Each holder of LYONs that exercises the
option will receive a number of shares determined by dividing the total amount
of cash the holder would have been entitled to receive had the purchase price
been paid in cash by the market price of a share of common stock. Market price
for these purposes means the average of the closing prices of Vishay common
stock in New York Stock Exchange composite trading for the five trading day
period ending on the third business day prior to the purchase date, which is the
period from May 25, 2004 to and including June 1, 2004. However, Vishay's right
to pay the purchase price in stock is subject to a number of conditions, as
described in the company notice. If these conditions are not satisfied prior to
the close of business on the purchase date, Vishay will be obligated to pay the
entire purchase price in cash. Holders may specify in the purchase notice
whether in these circumstances they elect to withdraw exercise of the option
with respect to some or all of their LYONs or to receive cash.

    In order to exercise the option and receive the purchase price for their
LYONs, holders must --

     deliver and not withdraw a purchase notice (or an agent's message according
     to the procedures of The Depository Trust Company (DTC) for book-entry
     transfer) prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on June 3, 2004, the
     business date prior to the purchase date; and

     surrender the LYONs (together with any required documentation) to the
     paying agent prior to, on or after the purchase date, in conformity in all
     respects to the description of the LYONs in the purchase notice.

The paying agent for the exercise of the option is The Bank of New York.

    For your information and for forwarding to your clients for whom you or your
nominee hold LYONs, we are enclosing the following documents:

        1. The company notice.

        2. The purchase notice for use in exercising the option.

        3. A notice of withdrawal to be used for withdrawing exercise of the
    option.

        4. A form of letter that may be sent to your clients for whose account
    you or your nominee hold LYONs, with space provided for obtaining such
    clients' instructions with respect to exercise of the option.

        5. Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on
    Substitute Form W-9.

    Your prompt action is requested. The option will expire at 5:00 p.m., New
York City time on June 3, 2004, the day before the purchase date, and will not
be extended.

    Vishay will upon request, reimburse brokers, dealers, commercial banks,
trust companies and other nominees for reasonable and necessary costs and
expenses incurred by them in forwarding the enclosed materials to the beneficial
owners of LYONs held by them as nominee or in a fiduciary capacity. Vishay will
pay all transfer taxes applicable to issuance of shares of common stock in
payment of the purchase price, except as set forth in the purchase notice.

    Any inquiries you may have with respect to the option, or requests for
additional copies of the enclosed materials, should be directed to the paying
agent, at the address and telephone number set forth on the front of the
purchase notice.

                                          Very truly yours,

                                          VISHAY INTERTECHNOLOGY, INC.
