The AirTAC Airtac PC Threaded Straight Connector PC1001-S is a genuine male connector for push-in tube connection, rated 0 - 1.0 MPa (0 - 10 kgf/cm2) with a 1.5 MPa proof pressure.
The PC1001-S is AirTAC's PC series one-touch male connector in the SUS304 stainless-steel variant. It joins Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing to a 1/8in PT male thread. On the PC and POC straight connectors the -S suffix changes the fitting body itself to Stainless steel 304, and AirTAC states all parts are copper-free - the release button and chuck remain POM, with an aluminium-alloy guide, stainless spring gasket and NBR O-ring.
Connection is genuinely one-touch: push the tube fully home and the stainless spring gasket and chuck grip it for a pressure-tight seal; press the release ring and the tube slides straight back out. Ratings are identical to the standard PC1001 - 0 to 1.0 MPa working pressure, 1.5 MPa proof pressure, -750 mmHg vacuum, and -20 to +70 C. Stainless buys you corrosion resistance and copper-free construction, not a higher rating.

POM release button and chuck, aluminium-alloy guide, stainless spring gasket, NBR O-ring; body brass or PBT depending on the part. Stainless (-S): SUS304 in place of brass - a solid SUS304 body on the PC and POC straight connectors, and a PBT body with a SUS304 stud on the elbow, tee and branch shapes. Working pressure, proof pressure and temperature are unchanged from the standard version. AirTAC publishes flow as a characteristic curve rather than a single figure, so no L/min value is listed.

Copper-free SUS304 construction suits semiconductor and PCB plant air drops, where dissolved copper can contaminate rinse and process baths downstream of the fitting.
A 10mm stainless body with a 1/8in thread resists salt-spray corrosion on boat and offshore platform pneumatic runs where a plated brass PC1001 would pit and seize.
Dia 10 tube straight into the cylinder port on electroplating hoists and rinse-tank actuators, where chemical splash would rapidly attack a standard PBT-and-brass connector.
You are on the middle-upper rung of the 1/8in ladder: step down to the PC801-S for Dia 8 tube feeding smaller actuators and sensors, or up to the PC1201-S for Dia 12 tube on higher-flow main runs. Bore is what changes - flow capacity follows the tube, not the fitting shape. Before ordering, match the 1/8in PT thread to the port and remember the tube OD must match exactly: this fitting will not hold 3/8in or 13 mm tube regardless of how hard you push it.
Where a straight connector is the wrong answer: use a PL901-S elbow when the tube must turn 90 degrees at the port, or a PM1001 bulkhead when you need to pass through a panel wall with a locknut. Both share this Dia 10 / 1/8in interface on the PC ladder.
Quick checklist
Working pressure 0 to 1.0 MPa (0 to 10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, temperature -20 to +70 C. It joins Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a 1/8in PT male thread. The fitting body is Stainless steel 304 and copper-free; the release button and chuck are POM, the guide aluminium alloy, the spring gasket stainless, the O-ring NBR.
Yes. AirTAC's dimension tables for the stainless variant match the standard part, so it swaps in without re-drawing the machine. What changes is the body material: SUS304, copper-free, for corrosion resistance and copper-sensitive processes. The pressure and temperature ratings are unchanged, and the same soft nylon or polyurethane tubing applies - hard-rigid tube will not seat correctly on the chuck.
