About the Airtac PC Threaded Straight Connector PC1204D
The PC1204D is an AirTAC PC series one-touch male connector, the largest standard tube bore in the PC ladder, pushing Dia 12 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing onto a 1/2in PT male thread. Push the tube home and the stainless spring gasket and chuck grip it against the POM seal; press the release ring and the tube slides straight back out.
It runs on the resin and brass spec profile: 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2) working pressure, -750 mmHg (10 Torr) vacuum, 1.5 MPa proof pressure and -20 to +70 C. On the PC series the D suffix changes the release button to black while the body stays standard grey, so this SKU is chosen when shops colour-code touch points rather than bodies. The 1/2in thread arrives with sealant already applied, ready to wind into the port.

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 PC1204D Is Used
Punch press clamp circuit
Feeding a large-bore clamping cylinder on a press bed, where the 1/2in PT port screws straight into the cylinder head and the 12 mm bore preserves clamp speed.
Packaging machine main drop
A Dia 12 drop from the factory air ring main down to a machine-side distribution block, terminated on the block's 1/2in female port.
Valve manifold supply
Screwed into the 1/2in supply port of a large valve manifold so the incoming 12 mm polyurethane trunk connects without adapters or hard piping.
Is the Airtac PC Threaded Straight Connector PC1204D the Right Part?
This is the top of the PC 1/2in tube ladder: below it sits the PC1004 on Dia 10 mm, and nothing larger exists on a 1/2in PC connector, so a Dia 12 actuator or main has no step-up here. If your port is smaller, the PC1203 takes the same 12 mm tube onto a 3/8in thread instead. Remember the tube must match exactly - a Dia 12 chuck will not seal 1/2in (12.7 mm) imperial hose or 10 mm tube.
Dia 12 mm is the bore to pick when flow demand, not space, drives the design: cylinder speed on large-bore actuators depends on the narrowest point in the circuit, and a 12 mm one-touch path keeps that restriction downstream of the fitting. If you need to pass this line through a panel wall rather than thread it into a component, the PM1204 bulkhead connector with its M22x1 locknut is the panel-mount counterpart.
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 PC1204D FAQ
Tube size Dia 12 mm, thread 1/2in PT male. 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 accepts soft nylon or polyurethane tubing only, and the thread ships with sealant pre-applied.
No. One-touch chucks grip the exact stated outside diameter, so this fitting takes 12.0 mm OD tube only - nominal 1/2in hose at 12.7 mm will not seal. For imperial hose you would need a different termination method, or step the circuit through an appropriate adapter rather than forcing a metric one-touch onto it.
