The AirTAC Airtac PC Threaded Straight Connector PC1004D 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 PC1004D is an AirTAC PC series male connector, the largest common branch of the resin-bodied one-touch line. It accepts Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube on the tube side and screws into a 1/2in PT female port on the other. Push the tube straight in and the stainless spring gasket plus POM chuck clamp it against pressure; press the release ring and the tube slides straight back out.
This is the standard resin and brass spec profile, not the metal BP line: 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2) working pressure, -750 mmHg vacuum, 1.5 MPa proof pressure, and -20 to +70 C. The brass body and PBT threaded stud arrive with sealant already applied, so the 1/2in thread seals as installed with no extra tape or paste. The D suffix on the PC series changes only the release button to black; the body stays standard grey.

A 1/2in manifold port feeding the cap-end cylinder of a small pneumatic press takes Dia 10 mm PU tube; the generous bore keeps cylinder fill time short on fast stroking cycles.
The PC series is rated to -750 mmHg negative pressure, so a Dia 10 mm supply line to a venturi ejector on a carton-gripping head holds its vacuum performance without a separate fitting family.
Dia 10 mm polyurethane tube survives the constant flexing as bottle-guide adjuster cylinders move along a conveyor, and the push-fit button allows a guide change without tools.
Dia 10 mm is the second-largest tube in the PC ladder. Step down to PC804 for Dia 8 mm tube on the same 1/2in thread when the line feeds smaller actuators, or up to PC1204 if you need maximum bore for a long, high-consumption run. On the thread side, PC1003 drops the port to 3/8in if your manifold is drilled smaller. Note the PC interface table: Dia 10 pairs with every thread from 1/8in to 1/2in, so you are on a wide, well-supported rung.
Tube OD must match the fitting exactly. A Dia 10 one-touch chuck will not seal on 3/8in (9.5 mm) or 12 mm tube, even though the sizes look close. Measure the tubing before ordering; when in doubt, order to the printed OD marking on the tube itself.
Quick checklist
Working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2); negative pressure -750 mmHg (10 Torr); proof pressure 1.5 MPa; operating temperature -20 to +70 C. It is a PC series male connector for Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube with a 1/2in PT male thread. The body is brass, the release button is POM (black on the D variant), and the thread arrives with sealant pre-applied.
On the PC and POC series, the D suffix changes only the release button to black; the body stays the standard grey. On most other AirTAC one-touch series, D changes the whole body colour, which is a common point of confusion when cross-checking photos. Functionally, the PC1004D is identical to the standard grey-button PC1004.
