About the Airtac PC Threaded Straight Connector PC1003D
The PC1003D is an AirTAC PC series one-touch male connector, the straight brass-bodied fitting that takes Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube into a 3/8in PT male thread. Push the tube home and the internal chuck grips it under spring load; press the POM release ring and the tube slides straight back out. No tools, no ferrules, no re-making the joint.
This part runs on the resin/brass spec profile: 0-1.0 MPa working pressure, -750 mmHg (10 Torr) vacuum capability, 1.5 MPa proof pressure and -20 to +70 C. Two details worth knowing before you order: on the PC series the D suffix changes the release button to black while the body stays the standard grey, and every threaded PC part arrives with sealant already applied to the male thread, so it seals on the taper without extra tape.

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 PC1003D Is Used
Palletiser cylinder supply
A straight 3/8in connector on the cylinder port feeds a Dia 10 mm line to a palletiser pusher cylinder, keeping restriction low on a high-consumption double-acting stroke.
Vacuum sheet-lift lines
Rated to -750 mmHg, so a Dia 10 mm run from a vacuum generator to suction cups on a glass-handling cell holds vacuum without a separate sealed fitting.
Packaging machine air drop
Drops a 3/8in manifold leg down to Dia 10 mm tube feeding wrapper and sealer cylinders on a form-fill-seal machine, all made in seconds by hand.
Is the Airtac PC Threaded Straight Connector PC1003D the Right Part?
Step down to PC803 for Dia 8 mm tube on the same 3/8in thread, or up to PC1203 for Dia 12 mm; both exist in the PC ladder at 3/8in, and the bigger bore buys you lower restriction on the same thread pitch. Match the thread to the port first: 3/8in PT suits medium cylinder ports and manifold legs, while a 1/4in port wants PC1002 instead.
One rule that catches people out: the fitting accepts exactly Dia 10 mm tube. A 3/8in imperial tube measures about 9.5 mm OD and will not seal in this chuck, so keep metric tube with metric fittings. If your run needs a bend close to the port, the PL elbow is the shape to reach for rather than forcing this straight connector.
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 PC1003D FAQ
Working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, operating temperature -20 to +70 C. It connects Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a 3/8in PT male thread. The body is brass with a POM release button in black (the D option), an aluminium-alloy guide, a stainless spring gasket and an NBR O-ring.
No. AirTAC applies sealant to the 3/8in PT taper thread at the factory, so you can screw it straight into the port. Just avoid re-using a fitting whose sealant has been damaged; on the smaller M5 sizes in this catalogue a sealing gasket is used instead, but at 3/8in the pre-coated taper does the sealing.
