The AirTAC Airtac PC Threaded Straight Connector PC1001D-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 PC1001D-S is AirTAC's PC series one-touch male connector in the SUS304 stainless variant, joining Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a 1/8in PT male stud. Push the tube home and the stainless spring gasket plus chuck jaw grips it instantly; press the release ring and it frees again. In this -S build the connector body itself is machined from Stainless steel 304 and AirTAC states that all parts are copper-free, while the release button and chuck remain POM, the guide is aluminium alloy, the spring gasket is stainless and the O-ring is NBR. The D suffix on a PC straight connector changes only the release button to black.
It runs on the resin one-touch profile: working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum down to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa and a service range of -20 to +70 C. The 1/8in PT stud arrives with sealant already on the thread, so it seals into the port without extra tape. Copper-free construction is the reason to choose this variant over the brass-bodied PC1001D when the circuit feeds electronics, plating or other copper-sensitive processes.

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.

The copper-free SUS304 body keeps the air circuit clear of copper ions around electroplating rinse and filtration rigs running Dia 10 mm nylon lines from 1/8in ports.
Pick-and-place and SMT equipment often specifies copper-free pneumatic hardware; a straight connector at Dia 10 mm on a 1/8in stud suits valve manifold outlets.
Stainless 304 resists splashing in food handling areas, with the -20 to +70 C rating covering cool rinse-down of conveyors fed by Dia 10 mm tubing.
On the 1/8in thread, the PC series spans Dia 4 through Dia 12, so the neighbours either side of this part are PC801 at Dia 8 and PC1201 at Dia 12. Stepping down to 8 mm suits lighter actuation and signal circuits; stepping up to 12 mm lowers resistance on longer runs or higher-consumption cylinders. If your port is tapped 1/4in rather than 1/8in, the matching part is PC1002. Tube OD must match exactly: this fitting holds Dia 10 mm tube only and will not seal 3/8in or 12 mm hose.
Choose the plain PC male connector when the run leaves the port in a straight line. Where the wall of a cabinet or tank is in the way, the PM bulkhead connector with its Dia 10 locknut thread of M20x1 passes through the panel instead.
Quick checklist
It is a one-touch male connector for Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube with a 1/8in PT male stud, stainless steel 304 body, copper-free construction, black release button. Working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, temperature -20 to +70 C. Note that at the top of the temperature range the tubing itself, not the fitting, is usually the limiting factor.
No. On the PC straight connector series the D suffix changes only the release button to black; the -S body is Stainless steel 304 either way. On many other one-touch series the D changes the body colour too, so it is worth checking per series rather than assuming.
