For additional information and catalogs contact your ATC representative
or call direct at (631) 622-4700.
Consult factory for 500 piece reels for prototyping.
Consult factory for additional performance data.
ATC accepts orders for our parts using designations
with
or
without
the
“ATC” prefix. Both methods of defining the part number are equivalent, i.e.,
part numbers referenced with the “ATC” prefix are interchangeable to parts
referenced without the “ATC” prefix. Customers are free to use either in
specifying or procuring parts from American Technical Ceramics.
