About the Airtac PC Threaded Straight Connector PC1202D
The AirTAC PC1202D is a PC series male one-touch connector that joins Dia 12 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing to a 1/4in PT male thread. You push the tube straight into the chuck and it grips; press the POM release button and the tube frees instantly. It is the largest tube bore the 1/4in port accepts, so it is the fitting to specify when a 1/4in connection still has to carry serious air.
PC is the resin and brass profile: 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. The body is brass, the release button and chuck are POM, the guide is aluminium alloy with a stainless spring gasket and NBR O-ring, and the thread arrives with sealant already applied. The D suffix turns the release button black - on the PC series the button colour is the only thing D changes, so the fitting interchanges with the grey PC1202 without any re-piping.

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 PC1202D Is Used
Stamping press cylinder supply
A Dia 12 feed into a large-bore clamp cylinder on a mechanical stamping press, where the 1/4in port still demands maximum bore to keep cylinder retract times short.
Injection moulding clamp circuits
Feeding the clamp or ejection actuators of an injection moulding machine from a 1/4in threaded drop, using the black-button D version where operators prefer a dark fitting against black guarding.
Heavy conveyor air-knife drops
A main-line takeoff on a food or packaging conveyor feeding wide air-knife or blow-off bars, where Dia 12 tube keeps pressure drop low over long runs from the 1/4in branch port.
Is the Airtac PC Threaded Straight Connector PC1202D the Right Part?
On the 1/4in PC ladder, Dia 12 is the top step - the only smaller option is Dia 10 (PC1002), which drops the bore and therefore the air carrying capacity feeding your actuator; nothing larger exists on a 1/4in thread. If your tube is Dia 12 but the port can go up, PC1203 (3/8in) or PC1204 (1/2in) accept the same tube and are the natural next look. The tube OD must match exactly: a Dia 12 chuck will not hold 12.7mm (1/2 inch imperial) tubing, and it will not hold Dia 10 either.
Choose PC over the compact POC when you want the standard-height hex for a wrench on a dense manifold, and remember the female alternative is PCF1202 if the port needs a thread into which the fitting screws as a nut. This is the resin line, not the metal BPC 0.9 MPa / 150 C line - if your ambient runs hot, check the tube rating first, because at elevated temperature the tubing, not the fitting, is the limit.
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 PC1202D FAQ
It connects Dia 12 mm tubing to a 1/4in PT male thread. 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. Tubing is soft nylon or polyurethane; the body is brass with a black POM release button (D suffix), aluminium-alloy guide, stainless spring gasket and NBR O-ring.
No. AirTAC ships PC series threaded parts with sealant already applied to the PT thread, so the PC1202D screws straight into a taped-or-uncoated PT port. Only M5 sizes in the range use a sealing gasket instead. Simply check the port thread form is PT (or compatible taper) before installing - the catalogue does not offer a G or NPT code for this part.
