American Technical Ceramics introduces E-commerce capabilities on Website
American Technical Ceramics Corp., a leading manufacturer of ceramic RF and microwave components, has enabled its Website (www.atceramics.com) with e-commerce capabilities, making it the first RF/Microwave capacitor manufacturer to offer this option for ordering products. With this feature, ATC customers have the opportunity to order online more than 30 different part kits used for circuit prototyping and lab applications.
"Through this e-commerce initiative, we are providing engineers with a new method of ordering a variety of key products used in the design and prototyping of new electronic circuits," said Victor Insetta, Chairman of the Company. "Long known as the engineers' choice, because of the quality and consistency of our capacitors, ATC kits offer a wide array of capacitors providing the range of capabilities needed when designing new circuits. We are confident that this alternative will make it easier for engineers to obtain ATC parts and include them in product design and subsequent production efforts."
The kits featured online include ATC's flagship 100 Series porcelain capacitor, the new 600 Series ultra-low ESR microwave capacitors, as well as the 500 Series, 700 Series and tuning sticks. The products available for online ordering include:
Design Kits: ATC offers 27 different design kits, each one containing a selection of popular chip capacitor values for circuit prototyping.
Lab Kits: The comprehensive bench-top lab kits are designed to provide sufficient inventory for almost any lab application. The Company offers five distinct lab kits.
Tuning Stick Kits: ATC tuning sticks, consisting of a 100 Series capacitor permanently attached to a non-conductive holder, enables engineers to easily select the right capacitance value for circuits without soldering capacitors in place.
ATC kits, including a full range of customised configurations, as well as all other products are also available from the Company's direct sales team.
ATC has also enhanced its site to provide more information to customers, investors and employees. The site offers a complete listing of ATC capacitor and Thin Film products, including specification overviews and technical notes. Customers may also download, without cost, ATC's proprietary design support software and other capacitor literature. In a new section devoted to investor relations, shareholders and potential investors can browse through an archive of quarterly earnings statements, press releases, SEC filing documents and opening statements from investor conference calls and obtain the details for future conference calls. The Company is also posting job listings for its facilities in Huntington Station, New York and Jacksonville, Florida.
