The AirTAC Airtac PC Threaded Straight Connector PC803 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 PC803 is an AirTAC PC series male connector, the straight threaded fitting in the resin one-touch range. It takes Dia 8 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing on the tube side and screws into a 3/8in PT male thread on the equipment side. The PC body on this range is brass, the release button and chuck are POM, and the guide is aluminium alloy with a stainless spring gasket and NBR O-ring.
Installation is a push: slide the tube into the chuck and the stainless gasket grips it for a seal that holds full working pressure. Press the POM release ring toward the body and the tube slides free for rework. Rating on this resin profile is 0 to 1.0 MPa (0 to 10 kgf/cm2), vacuum to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, and a working temperature of -20 to +70 C. The 3/8in thread arrives with sealant already applied, so no extra tape is needed.

A 3/8in manifold port feeding 8 mm line to conveyor gate cylinders gives the bore headroom for repeated clamping cycles without starving downstream actuators.
Clamping grids on thermoforming equipment often run 8 mm polyurethane line from a 3/8in port; the -750 mmHg vacuum rating keeps the seal held under hold-down duty.
Looms and industrial sewing lines route 8 mm soft nylon through congested frames; a straight 3/8in connector at the header keeps the drop replaceable in minutes.
On the tube ladder this 8 mm bore sits between PC603 (Dia 6, same 3/8in thread) and PC1003 (Dia 10). Stepping down to 6 mm eases flow demand on light lines like pilot circuits; stepping up to 10 mm lowers resistance where a cylinder retracts fast. On the thread ladder, PC802 covers the same 8 mm tube on a 1/4in port and PC804 on a 1/2in port, so match the code to the port you actually have. Note that a 3/8in port on the PC ladder accepts 6, 8, 10 or 12 mm tube, so 8 mm is mid-range here.
Tube OD must match the code exactly: this chuck is built for 8 mm and will not seal on 1/4in (6.35 mm) tube, even though the sizes look close. If the run needs to turn at the port, a PL male elbow or PH universal elbow in the same 8 mm / 3/8in combination is the shape to compare first.
Quick checklist
It is a PC series one-touch male connector for Dia 8 mm tube with a 3/8in PT thread. 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 -20 to +70 C. Tubing is soft nylon or polyurethane; body brass, button and chuck POM, O-ring NBR.
No. AirTAC ships every threaded part in this range with sealant pre-applied to the PT thread, so it goes straight onto the port. M5 sizes in the same series use a sealing gasket instead, which is why the small and large thread ends of the ladder are handled differently.
