ATC Custom Thin Film Circuits

American Technical Ceramics (ATC)

ATC // AVX is pleased to introduce the combined resources of ATC’s Jacksonville, Florida and AVX’s Myrtle Beach, South Carolina Thin Film product groups. This allows us to offer a wide range of custom hybrid circuits along with thin film resistors, capacitors, inductors, as well as lumped element and distributed filters, integrated passives, modules, heat sinks, and other unique thin film microelectronic solutions.

Design, Fabrication, Assembly and RF Testing

Jacksonville Thin Film Products Since 1993

ATC Thin Film Products, located in Jacksonville, FL, has been supplying a broad spectrum of high reliability metalized hybrid circuits. Designers can select from a wide variety of substrate materials, as well as vias, crossovers and bridges. Whether built to print or designed to a performance specification, the experienced engineering staff is available to assist in optimizing your product. In addition, two-sided assembly and RF testing to 40 GHz are value-added services. AS-9100 certification ensures conformance with existing military and aerospace requirements.
