                                       to
                            Statement on Schedule 13D
                                    under the
                   Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended



     The undersigned hereby amends Item 5 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 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 May 17, 2005 is 4,615,680 and 54.5%, respectively,
based upon 8,475,473 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 6, 2005, as
reported in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter
ended March 31, 2005. Of the 4,615,680 shares beneficially owned by Mr. Insetta,
(i) 300,000 shares are held in a Trust 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. Mr. Insetta may be deemed to beneficially own the
shares in the GRAT.

     "Pursuant to the Restated Shareholders' Agreement, Messrs. Insetta and
Colandrea have agreed that, so long as they own shares of Common Stock, they
will vote their shares for the election of either three designees of Mr. Insetta
(if Mr. Insetta elects not to be a director) or of Mr. Insetta and two of his
designees, and for the election of Mr. Colandrea (if Mr. Colandrea elects to be
a director) to our Board of Directors. Mr. Colandrea has waived his right to be
designated as a director indefinitely until written notice is served to the
contrary at least 90 days prior to the next scheduled annual meeting of
stockholders. The Restated Shareholders' Agreement will terminate upon the death
of Mr. Insetta or at such time as Mr. Insetta does not own at least 10% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Restated Shareholders' Agreement also
provides for certain rights of first refusal and registration rights. Pursuant
to the terms of the Shareholders' Agreement, Mr. Insetta may be deemed to share
voting and dispositive power over the shares owned by Mr. Colandrea. Mr. Insetta
disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares."
