                                 Amendment No. 8
                                       to
                            Statement on Schedule 13D
                                    under the
                   Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended


         The undersigned hereby amends Items 4, 5 and 6 of the Schedule 13D
filed on October 18, 1985 (as amended, the "Schedule 13D") with respect to the
Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of American Technical Ceramics Corp.
(the "Company"). Unless otherwise indicated, all defined terms used herein shall
have the same meanings as those set forth in the previously filed Schedule 13D,
as amended.

Item 4.  Purpose of the Transaction.

         Item 4 is hereby amended by adding the following to the end of the
Item:

         On June 15, 2007, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with AVX Corporation ("AVX") and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of AVX formed for the purpose of effecting the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement ("Merger Sub"), pursuant to which AVX will
acquire all of the outstanding equity interests of the Company. Pursuant to the
Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged (the "Merger") with and into the
Company with the Company surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of AVX. Each
outstanding share of the Company's Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to
the Merger will be converted into the right to receive $24.75 in cash, without
interest, and each outstanding option will be converted into the right to
receive $24.75 in cash less the applicable exercise price of such option for
each share of common stock underlying such option. Consummation of the Merger is
subject to customary conditions, including approval of the Company's
stockholders and receipt of necessary regulatory consents and approvals. This
summary of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified
in its entirety by reference to the copy of the Merger Agreement which is
attached hereto as Exhibit 5 and incorporated herein by this reference.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

         (a) The first paragraph of subparagraph (a) of Item 5 is hereby amended
in its entirety to read as follows:

         "The aggregate number and percentage of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by Mr. Insetta as of June 15, 2007 is 4,615,680 and 51.21%,
respectively, based upon 9,013,603 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of June
13, 2007, as represented by the Company in the Merger Agreement. Of the
4,615,680 shares beneficially owned by Mr. Insetta, (i) 387,459 shares are held
in Trusts of which Mr. Insetta is the beneficiary and his wife is the Trustee,
and (ii) 210,400 shares are owned by Joseph Colandrea which are subject to a
Restated Shareholders' Agreement, dated April 15, 1985, among Messrs. Insetta
and Colandrea and the Company (the "Restated Shareholders' Agreement"). Not
included in the 4,615,680 shares beneficially owned by Mr. Insetta are (iii)
4,500 shares owned by Mr. Insetta's wife, as to which Mr. Insetta disclaims
beneficial ownership. On May 4, 2005, Mr. Insetta transferred 300,000 shares to
a Grantor Retained Annuity Trust ("GRAT") of which his wife is the Trustee. On
May 4, 2006, 55,838 shares were returned to Mr. Insetta, and on May 4, 2007, an
additional 64,918 shares were returned to him, in each case pursuant to the
terms of this GRAT. On April 7, 2006, Mr. Insetta transferred 300,000 shares to
a second GRAT of which his wife is the Trustee. On April 7, 2007, 91,785 shares
were returned to Mr. Insetta pursuant to the terms of this GRAT. Mr. Insetta may
be deemed to beneficially own the shares remaining in these GRATs.

                                      - 3 -



         (b) Item 5 is hereby further amended by adding the following to the end
of the Item:

         As an inducement to AVX to enter into the Merger Agreement, Mr. Insetta
and his wife, as Trustee of the two GRATs described above, entered into a voting
agreement with AVX and Merger Sub pursuant to which, among other things, they
agreed (i) to vote all of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them
and over which they have voting control (x) in favor of the adoption of the
Merger Agreement and the approval of the transactions contemplated thereby,
including the Merger, (y) against any competing proposal to acquire the Company
or any substantial part of the Company, and (z) against certain other actions,
including any action or agreement that would reasonably by expected to result in
any condition to the consummation of the Merger not being fulfilled; (ii) not to
transfer any shares of common stock beneficially owned by them (other than for
estate planning or similar purposes) or otherwise restrict their ability to
exercise all voting rights with respect to such shares; and (iii) not to (x)
solicit, initiate, encourage or take any other actions to facilitate a competing
proposal, (y) enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding with
respect to a competing proposal or which requires or is intended to, or which
could reasonably be expected to result in the abandonment, termination or
failure to consummate the Merger, or (z) participate in negotiations or
discussions concerning, or furnish any information to any third party with
respect to, a competing proposal. If and to the extent Mr. Insetta or Mrs.
Insetta, as Trustee of the GRATs, fails to fulfill his or her voting obligations
as described above, he or she has granted to AVX an irrevocable proxy to act for
him or her solely with respect to such matters. The obligations of Mr. Insetta
and Mrs. Insetta, as Trustee of the GRATs, under the Voting Agreement terminate
upon the earliest to occur of (A) the termination of the Merger Agreement in
accordance with its terms, (B) the written consent of the parties to the Voting
Agreement, (C) the effective time of the Merger, and (D) the withdrawal or
modification by the Company's Board of Directors of its recommendation that
stockholders vote in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement. This summary
of the Voting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the copy of the Voting Agreement which is attached
hereto as Exhibit 6 and incorporated herein by this reference.

         (c) The Chart in Subparagraph (c) of Item 5 is hereby supplemented to
