About the Airtac PC Threaded Straight Connector PC1003
The AirTAC PC1003 is a PC series one-touch male connector: a straight push-in fitting that takes Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing on one end and screws into a 3/8in PT male-threaded port on the other. Push the tube home and the stainless spring gasket with the POM chuck clamps it instantly; press the grey release button and the tube slides free again.
This is the resin and brass profile, rated 0-1.0 MPa working pressure, -750 mmHg vacuum, 1.5 MPa proof pressure and -20 to +70 C. The Dia 10 body is machined from brass and the threaded stud arrives with sealant already applied, so it seals into the port without extra tape. At Dia 10 this is one of the larger bores in the PC ladder, so it carries the heavier air flow of a main drop rather than a pilot line.

Fitting & Sealing Notes
- check Cut the tube square and clean before pushing it home, or the seal will leak.
- check Push until it stops, then pull back to check the chuck has gripped.
- check To release, press the collet ring fully in and pull the tube out.
- check Threaded parts arrive with sealant on the thread; M5 sizes use a sealing gasket.
- check Match the tube OD exactly - a 6 mm fitting will not hold 1/4" tube.
Where the Airtac PC Threaded Straight Connector PC1003 Is Used
FRL outlet to a machine air main
A straight male connector is the natural first fitting after a filter-regulator-lubricator bank, and the 3/8in thread matches the outlet port of most mid-size FRL units while the Dia 10 bore keeps the drop unrestricted.
Pneumatic clamp cylinder on a palletizer
Clamp cylinders with 3/8in ports on palletizing and case-packing heads take the PC1003 directly, giving a rigid brass connection that resists the vibration of repetitive gripping cycles.
Air knife feed on a bottle rinser
Bottle and can rinsing lines run Dia 10 feeds to blow-off air knives; the push-in connection lets maintenance swap a sectioned tube run in seconds during a changeover.
Is the Airtac PC Threaded Straight Connector PC1003 the Right Part?
On the PC 3/8in row the neighbouring tubes are Dia 8 (PC803) below and Dia 12 (PC1203) above. Stepping down to Dia 8 reduces the bore and the air you can move; stepping up to Dia 12 suits long runs or high-consumption actuators. If your port is 1/4in or 1/2in instead, PC1002 and PC1004 both accept Dia 10 tube, so you keep the bore and change only the thread.
Check the tubing marking before ordering: the chuck is sized for a true 10.0 mm OD, so nominal 3/8in tube, which measures about 9.5 mm, will not seal. For a slimmer straight body in the same Dia 10 x 3/8in combination, the compact POC series is the alternative.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Tube outside diameter matches exactly
- ✓ Thread size and standard match the port
- ✓ Working pressure within 0 - 1.0 MPa (0 - 10 kgf/cm2)
- ✓ Temperature within -20 to +70 °C
Airtac PC Threaded Straight Connector PC1003 FAQ
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. It joins Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a 3/8in PT thread. Body is brass with a POM release button, NBR O-ring and stainless spring gasket; grey as standard, and the thread arrives with sealant pre-applied.
No. The one-touch chuck grips the exact outside diameter it is named for, and 3/8in tube measures about 9.5 mm against the 10.0 mm the PC1003 is machined for, so it will leak or blow out under pressure. Use soft nylon or polyurethane tube marked Dia 10, or choose the imperial N-series catalogue for inch tube.
