                   Supplement Dated June 1, 1995 to the Prospectus
              Dated July 2, 1993 of Augat Inc. (the "Company") Relating
                     to an Offering of its Shares Under its 1993
                             Employee Stock Purchase Plan
              ---------------------------------------------------------- 


                    The Offering.  The Company is offering on June 1, 1995, 
                    ------------
          251,082 shares of its $.10 par value common stock to the
          approximately 3,400 eligible employees of the Company and its
          subsidiaries.  This is the third annual offering under the
          Company's 1993 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

                    The closing price of the Company's common stock on the
          New York Stock Exchange on June 1, 1995, as reported in The Wall
          Street Journal, was $21.00 per share.  Accordingly, the purchase
          price under the 1995 offering will not exceed 85% of that amount
          or $17.85 per share.  The amounts to be withheld beginning with
          the first payroll paid after July 12, 1995, referred to under
          "Option Price", will be as follows:

                    (a)  for employees paid monthly,
                         $1.44 per share monthly;

                    (b)  for employees paid bi-weekly,
                         $.70 per share bi-weekly;

                    (c)  for employees paid weekly,
                         $.35 per share weekly.

                    Under the first annual offering 372 employees purchased
          on July 1, 1994 56,666 shares under the Plan at a share price of
          $13.60 per share.  Under the second annual offering, 783
          employees elected in June 1994 to purchase 72,684 shares under
          the Plan at a maximum price of $17.85.  Certain employees
          terminated their elections to purchase and, as of May 26, 1995,
          elections to purchase 52,252 shares by 493 employees on July 1,
          1995 are currently in effect.

                    The Company's Rights Plan.  On August 2, 1988 the Board
                    -------------------------
          of Directors of the Company declared a dividend distribution of
          one right (a "Right") for each outstanding share of Common Stock. 
          The Rights were paid on August 23, 1988 and will entitle the
          registered holder to purchase from the Company one unit (a
          "Unit") consisting initially of one one-fifth of a share of
          Common Stock and one note (a "Note") in principal amount equal 
          to four-fifths of the current market price of the Common Stock 
          on the date of exercise at a purchase price of $60 per Unit,
          subject to adjustment (the "Exercise Price").  The Rights will
          initially become exercisable following the tenth day after the
          date of public announcement that a person has acquired beneficial<PAGE>



          Page 2


          ownership of 20% or more of the Common Stock or the tenth day
          after the date of commencement of a tender or exchange offer to
          acquire beneficial ownership of 30% or more of the Common Stock.

                    In the event that (i) the Company is the surviving
          corporation in a merger with a person that holds beneficial
          ownership of 20% or more of the Common Stock (an "Acquiring
          Person"), (ii) any person becomes the beneficial owner of more
          than 25% of the Common Stock (except pursuant to an offer for 
          all shares of the Common Stock which a majority of certain
          continuing members and independent members of the Board of 
          Directors determines to be fair to and in the best interests 
          of the Company's stockholders), (iii) an Acquiring person 
          engages in certain "self-dealing" transactions, or (iv) during
          such time as there is an Acquiring Person, an event occurs which
          results in such Acquiring Person's ownership interest being
          increased by more than 1%, then each Right not owned by an
          Acquiring Person will enable its holder to purchase that number
          of shares of the Company's Common Stock which equals the 
          Exercise Price divided by one-half of the current market price 
          of the Common Stock.  At any time after the occurrence of one 
          of the events specified in the preceding sentence, and subject 
          to the concurrence of a majority of certain continuing members 
          of the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors may exchange
          the Rights, in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of one
          share of Common Stock per Right.  In addition, if the Company is
          involved in a merger or other business combination transaction 
          in which the Company is not the surviving corporation or its
          Common Stock is changed or exchanged (other than pursuant to a
          merger which follows an offer determined to be fair as described
          in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this paragraph), or if
          the Company or a subsidiary sells or transfers more than 50% of
          the assets of earning power of the Company and its subsidiaries
          (taken as a whole) to another entity, each Right will entitle 
          its holder to purchase, in return for the Exercise Price, common
          stock of the acquiring company which equals the Exercise Price
          divided by one-half of the current market price of such common
          stock at the date of the occurrence of the event.

                    The Company will generally be entitled to redeem the
          Rights at $.02 per Right at any time until the tenth day
          following a public announcement that a person has acquired
          beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the Common Stock.  The
          Rights will expire on the earlier of (i) the close of business 
          on August 23, 1998 and (ii) the date on which the Rights are
          exchanged or redeemed. <PAGE>
