About the Airtac PC Threaded Straight Connector PC601-M
The PC601-M is AirTAC's mini-series PC male connector, the shortened version of the standard one-touch straight. It joins Dia 6 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a 1/8 in PT male thread, and the -M suffix marks it out as a mini part - a body style AirTAC offers on the PC and PL ranges only. Push the tube home and the stainless spring gasket and chuck clamp it against the NBR O-ring; press the POM release ring and the tube slides straight back out.
This is the resin-and-brass profile, so it runs at 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2) working pressure with 1.5 MPa proof, handles vacuum down to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), and is rated -20 to +70 C. The body is brass, the release button and chuck are POM, and the thread arrives pre-coated with sealant so it goes onto the port ready to seal. Two things worth knowing: the mini line is the only place AirTAC offers M5 and M3 threads on PC fittings, and the 3.2 mm micro tube size also lives only in the mini series - so if a project later needs a finer bore, you can stay within the same family.

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 PC601-M Is Used
SMD pick-and-place head
Vacuum-ejector and pilot lines on a compact SMD placement head, where a standard-height PC connector would foul the nozzle plate and only the short mini body clears the housing.
Small valve manifold pilot ports
Threading straight into the 1/8 in pilot ports of compact solenoid valves on an indexing fixture, feeding 6 mm PU tubing to grippers and clamps beside the manifold.
Bench-top lab pneumatic rig
Small test and sample-handling fixtures on a lab bench, where 6 mm tubing and 1/8 in ports keep the footprint tight and the -20 to +70 C range covers ambient and lightly heated work.
Is the Airtac PC Threaded Straight Connector PC601-M the Right Part?
Within the PC ladder on a 1/8 in thread, Dia 6 sits between Dia 4 below and Dia 8 above. Stepping down to Dia 4 buys a slimmer profile and lower air demand for tiny actuators, but constricts flow through the bore; stepping up to Dia 8 moves more air per stroke at the cost of a bulkier button and a stiffer tube routing. Whichever you pick, the tube OD must match the fitting exactly - this 6 mm chuck will not grip 1/4 in tube, and no amount of insertion force changes that.
The 1/8 in PT thread is the pilot-port standard on small solenoid valves, compact FRL outlets and cylinder head ports on miniature equipment. If your port is M5 instead, the PC60M5-M keeps the same mini body; if the geometry needs a bend rather than a straight run, the PL mini elbow (for example PL601-M) turns the tube 90 degrees without adding adapters.
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 PC601-M FAQ
It is a mini-series one-touch male connector for Dia 6 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube with a 1/8 in PT male thread. 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. Body brass, release button and chuck POM, spring gasket stainless, O-ring NBR. Grey as standard; the D suffix changes only the release button to black on the PC series.
The -M marks the mini series: a shortened PC body for tight installations, offered by AirTAC only on the PC and PL fitting families. It keeps the same 0-1.0 MPa rating as the standard series and unlocks thread options the standard ladder does not have, including M5 and M3, plus a 3.2 mm micro tube size. One caution in return: at the smallest bores the flow path narrows with the tube, so size the bore to the actuator's air demand rather than choosing mini purely for looks.
