THIEF RIVER FALLS, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Global electronic components distributor Digi-Key Corporation, the industry leader in electronic component selection, availability and delivery, and American Technical Ceramics (ATC), today announced the two companies have signed a global distribution agreement.
“ATC is very excited to have our leading edge RF components available to the customer base served by Digi-Key,” said Steve Rabe, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at ATC. “Our products will now be available to provide solutions to the fast growing RF market.”
For over 40 years, ATC has designed, developed, manufactured and marketed Multilayer Capacitors, Single Layer Capacitors, Resistive Products, Inductors and Custom Thin Film Products for RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave applications. Their products are primarily focused on the wireless communications infrastructure, fiber optic, medical electronics, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, defense, aerospace, and satellite communications markets. The global distribution agreement with Digi-Key includes products from ATC’s 800, 550, and 600 series capacitor lines.
“As the needs of today’s electronics applications become more and more demanding, innovation is necessary in making components smaller, more reliable, and less expensive,” noted Tom Busher, Vice President, Global Interconnect, Passive, and Electromechanical Product at Digi-Key. “American Technical Ceramics has continued to innovate throughout their long and successful history and are a welcome addition to our broad line card. We are pleased to partner with ATC and look forward to the mutual growth resulting from this partnership.”
