The AirTAC Airtac PC Threaded Straight Connector PC602-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.
PC602-S is the SUS304 version of the AirTAC PC male straight connector. It joins Dia 6 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a 1/4 in PT male thread, and on this -S variant the entire connector body is stainless steel 304 with copper-free construction. The release button and chuck remain POM, backed by an aluminium-alloy guide, a stainless spring gasket and an NBR O-ring.
Operation is AirTAC's standard one-touch action: push the tube home and the chuck grips it against the spring gasket; press the release ring and the tube frees off. The ratings are untouched by the -S suffix - 0 to 1.0 MPa working, 1.5 MPa proof, -750 mmHg vacuum and -20 to +70 C - and the dimension tables match the brass PC602, so it drops straight into an existing panel drill pattern without re-checking anything.

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.

Copper-free construction is the reason to buy this part here: above pickling and electroplating tanks, where dissolved copper ruins bath chemistry, a SUS304 PC602-S feeding rinse-air nozzles keeps copper out of the process air path.
On a bakery or meat-plant conveyor that gets hosed down each shift, a Dia 6 line run to a sorting actuator's solenoid valve survives the daily wash where a brass connector would pit and stain.
A Dia 6 signal line from a valve manifold to a dockside winch-control cylinder sits in salt-laden air all day; the stainless body shrugs off the salt fog that corrodes plated brass fittings within months.
On the PC ladder this thread sits between PC601 (Dia 6 tube, 1/8 in) and PC603 (Dia 6 tube, 3/8 in); both are real catalogue parts, and stepping either way changes only the port the sealant-coated thread mates with, not the grip on the tube. If your line is Dia 8 or Dia 12, the 1/4 in PC ladder continues with PC802 and PC1202. The tube OD must match exactly - a Dia 6 fitting will not hold 1/4 in tube, even though the inch figure sounds close to 6 mm.
Quick checklist
Working pressure 0 to 1.0 MPa (0 to 10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, temperature range -20 to +70 C. This SKU is a Dia 6 mm tube fitting with a 1/4 in PT male thread, and the body is stainless steel 304. The -S suffix changes materials only - every pressure, vacuum and temperature figure is identical to the standard PC602.
No. Dia 6 mm is the only tube this fitting grips, and the OD must match exactly - 1/4 in tube measures 6.35 mm and will not seat on the spring gasket. Run soft nylon or polyurethane in a true 6 mm OD. Also note AirTAC publishes no release-cycle count for the push button: it can be operated repeatedly, but no figure is specified.
