About the Airtac PC Threaded Straight Connector PC1202
The PC1202 is an AirTAC PC series one-touch male connector, the plain straight fitting for joining Dia 12 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing to a 1/4in PT male thread. Push the tube straight into the chuck and the stainless spring gasket and POM collet lock it against the brass body; press the release ring and the tube slides free again. Dia 12 is the largest bore the PC ladder offers, so this is the fitting you put at the head of a supply run rather than at the end of a drop.
It belongs to the resin and brass one-touch profile: 0 to 1.0 MPa working pressure, -750 mmHg vacuum, 1.5 MPa proof pressure and -20 to +70 C. The PC body itself is brass with a POM release button, NBR O-ring and aluminium-alloy guide, and the 1/4in thread arrives with sealant already applied, so it seals on the PT taper without extra tape. A D suffix variant exists if you need the black release button, but the grey standard version is this code.

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 PC1202 Is Used
Compressor outlet header
Screw the PC1202 into the 1/4in tap on a workshop compressor receiver or distribution manifold and run 12 mm trunk tubing out to the ring main, where the large bore keeps pressure drop low before the line splits.
Press clamp feed
On a pneumatic clamp fixture at a machining centre, the 1/4in PT thread lands directly on the clamp cylinder port and the 12 mm bore delivers the volume a swing clamp needs for fast stroke times.
Valve manifold supply
Use it as the supply connector on the inlet port of a solenoid valve manifold in a bottling line, with 12 mm tubing carrying air from the FRL unit to all downstream valve stations at once.
Is the Airtac PC Threaded Straight Connector PC1202 the Right Part?
On the tube side you are at the top of the ladder: PC1002 is the size down, feeding a 10 mm line, and there is no 14 or 16 mm PC fitting above this one - if your circuit needs more bore than 12 mm you are moving to a different product family, not a bigger PC code. Step down to PC1002 when the run serves a single large cylinder; stay at 12 mm when it is the trunk feeding several branch tees. On the thread side, PC1201 drops to 1/8in and PC1203 steps up to 3/8in, both valid for Dia 12 on the PC interface table, so match the port you are actually screwing into. One warning worth repeating: Dia 12 is close to but not equal to 1/2in imperial tube, and a 12 mm chuck will not grip a 1/2in line - measure before you order.
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 PC1202 FAQ
It is a PC series one-touch male connector taking Dia 12 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube on a 1/4in PT male thread. Working pressure is 0 to 1.0 MPa (0 to 10 kgf/cm2), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa, vacuum capability is -750 mmHg, and the working temperature range is -20 to +70 C. The body is brass with a POM release button and NBR sealing, and the thread comes pre-coated with sealant.
No. The chuck and gasket are sized for a 12 mm outside diameter exactly; nominal 1/2in tube measures about 12.7 mm and will neither seat nor seal, and forcing it damages the collet. If your existing line is imperial, stay in that size family instead - but if you are building new 12 mm metric runs, the PC1202 is the largest straight connector in the PC range and pairs with PC1002 one step down.
