The AirTAC Airtac PC Threaded Straight Connector PC4M5D-S 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 PC4M5D-S is the SUS304 stainless version of AirTAC's PC male connector, built for the smallest tube in the range: Dia 4 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing pushed into an M5x0.8 male thread. One push seats the tube past the POM chuck, which grips it radially; pressing the release ring lets it come back out without tools.
On PC and POC straight connectors, the -S suffix makes the fitting BODY itself stainless steel 304, and AirTAC states every part in the build is copper-free - the release button and chuck stay POM, the guide aluminium alloy, the spring gasket stainless, the O-ring NBR. The D suffix turns the release button black. Ratings are unchanged from the standard line: 0-1.0 MPa working, 1.5 MPa proof, -20 to +70 C. The M5 port seals with a supplied gasket, not thread sealant, so no curing or paste migration near clean processes.

POM release button and chuck, aluminium-alloy guide, stainless spring gasket, NBR O-ring; body brass or PBT depending on the part. Stainless (-S): SUS304 in place of brass - a solid SUS304 body on the PC and POC straight connectors, and a PBT body with a SUS304 stud on the elbow, tee and branch shapes. Working pressure, proof pressure and temperature are unchanged from the standard version. AirTAC publishes flow as a characteristic curve rather than a single figure, so no L/min value is listed.

Feeds Dia 4 tubing to the small cylinders and grippers on SMT pick-and-place heads, where M5 ports are standard and the copper-free body avoids metal contamination around sensitive board handling.
Connects 4 mm tube to M5-tapped valve manifolds and sample-handling blocks on lab analysers, where a gasket-sealed M5 thread keeps sealant paste out of the circuit and the SUS304 body resists cleaning agents.
Suits air pilot lines on plating-line dosing and rinsing fixtures, where copper alloys can catalyse bath chemistry and the stainless body stands up better to acid splash and wash-down than brass.
Dia 4 is the bottom rung of the PC M5 ladder - there is no smaller tube option, so the only step from here is up to the PC6M5-S for Dia 6 tube, which gives roughly a 50% larger bore and lower pressure drop on the same M5 port. If your tubing is Dia 4 but the port is a standard 1/8in PT, order the PC401-S instead; M5 is only worth choosing where the mating component is already tapped M5.
Check your tube before ordering: Dia 4 mm is 4.0 mm OD, not 1/8in (3.18 mm) or 4 mm ID. A Dia 4 chuck will not grip anything that is not exactly 4.0 mm OD.
Quick checklist
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 joins Dia 4 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing to an M5x0.8 male thread (sealed by gasket, PT standard family). The fitting body is SUS304 stainless steel and all parts are copper-free; release button and chuck are POM. The -S suffix does not change any pressure or temperature figure versus the standard PC4M5D-S-free brass version.
No sealant. M5 ports in this catalogue seal with a dedicated gasket supplied on the fitting, so simply thread it into the M5-tapped port - adding paste or tape can crack a small M5 boss or block the port. On the tube side it holds only Dia 4 mm OD tubing exactly; it will not grip 1/8in (3.18 mm) tube, 4 mm ID hose, or Dia 6 tube. If your tube is Dia 6 on the same M5 port, use the PC6M5-S.
