The AirTAC Airtac PC Threaded Straight Connector PC1002D 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 PC1002D is an AirTAC PC series male connector, the straight threaded body of the resin one-touch range. It grips a Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube and presents a 1/4 in PT male thread to the port. Push the tube past the POM chuck and it locks instantly; press the release ring and it slides free for rework. The 1/4 in thread arrives from the factory with sealant already applied, so the fitting goes on the port without extra tape or paste.
It runs on the resin and brass spec profile: 0 to 1.0 MPa working pressure, -750 mmHg vacuum, 1.5 MPa proof pressure and -20 to +70 C. The D suffix on the PC series changes the release button to black only - the body and every pressure figure stay identical to the grey PC1002, which matters when operators colour-code buttons on adjacent ports.

A Dia 10 mm bore matches the outlet ports of 1/4 in solenoid valve manifolds on packaging machines, so the PC1002D starts each supply line without a reducer at the base.
On a machining centre the air-blast chip-clearing line is commonly fed in 10 mm tube from a 1/4 in port; the straight connector keeps the run short and the button stays accessible for seasonal hose changes.
Vacuum-ejector supply on end-of-arm tooling is often plumbed in Dia 10 mm polyurethane, which flexes with the arm while the PC1002D anchors the line at the frame-side 1/4 in port.
Dia 10 mm on a 1/4 in thread sits mid-ladder for this prefix. Step down to PC802 for Dia 8 mm tube and you gain fitment clearance in tight manifolds but feed less bore per pulse; step up to PC1202 for Dia 12 mm tube when a cylinder or valve needs the larger cross-section and your port can still take 1/4 in. Both neighbours exist in the PC 1/4 in range alongside Dia 4, 6, 8 and 12.
Match the tube exactly: a Dia 10 mm fitting will not seal a 3/8 in imperial tube, and the one-touch chuck is not adjustable. If the thread is the fixed side of your problem and no 1/4 in port exists, a PCF female connector on the same Dia 10 mm bore is the sister part to check.
Quick checklist
Working pressure 0 to 1.0 MPa (0 to 10 kgf/cm2), vacuum to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, operating temperature -20 to +70 C. It joins Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a 1/4 in PT male thread. The PC series body is PBT on a brass stud with a POM chuck and NBR seal. No flow coefficient is published by AirTAC; capacity follows the Dia 10 mm bore via the characteristic curve.
No. AirTAC ships every threaded PC fitting with sealant already applied to the PT thread, so it seals straight onto the port. If you remove and refit it later, inspect the coating and top it up with PTFE tape if it looks disturbed. Keep sealant off the tube entry though - contamination in the chuck is the usual cause of a slow leak on a push-in joint.
