The AirTAC Airtac PCF Female Thread Straight Fitting PCF1001D is a genuine female connector for push-in tube connection, rated 0 - 1.0 MPa (0 - 10 kgf/cm2) with a 1.5 MPa proof pressure.
The PCF1001D is an AirTAC PCF one-touch female connector: the fitting that screws onto a male 1/8in PT stud and converts it into a push-in socket for Dia 10mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing. Push the tube home and the internal chuck grips it against the stainless spring gasket; press the release ring and the tube slides straight back out. No tools, no ferrules, no re-tightening.
This is the resin/brass one-touch profile, not the metal BP line: 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2) working pressure, -750 mmHg (10 Torr) vacuum, 1.5 MPa proof pressure and -20 to +70C. Construction is a POM release button and chuck, aluminium-alloy guide, stainless spring gasket and NBR O-ring on a PBT body. The D suffix makes the body black on this series, unlike PC and POC where D recolours only the release button. The female thread arrives with sealant pre-applied.

On a bottling-line filler, each solenoid outlet presents a 1/8in male stud. A PCF1001D screwed onto each stud hands off to Dia 10 polyurethane runs feeding the larger gripper and clamp cylinders downstream.
A SCARA pick-and-place wrist needs a short, light vacuum line. The 1/8in female thread suits the compact ejector stud, and the circuit holds -750 mmHg (10 Torr) for suction-cup work without a separate vacuum-rated fitting.
Screen-printing clamp cylinders with male 1/8in studs take the PCF1001D directly, running Dia 10 soft nylon to the fixture clamps. Keep it away from flash-cure zones, since the resin profile tops out at 70C.
Tube OD must match exactly: this body holds 10mm tube only, never 3/8in imperial or 12mm. One step down on the same 1/8in thread sits Dia 8 tube, the usual choice for lighter single-actuator lines; one step up is Dia 12, which on female-connector ladders generally wants a 1/4in thread or larger, so a 12mm circuit usually moves you up the thread ladder as well. If your port is a 1/4in female thread instead, keep Dia 10 tube and switch to the 02 thread code.
Pick a female connector when the machine already presents a male stud - valve-island outlets and cylinder port studs are the classic cases. Where the tube must turn 90 degrees tight to the port, use a PLF female elbow; where the fitting must pass through a cabinet wall and be secured by a locknut behind it, the PMF bulkhead female connector is the correct shape.
Quick checklist
Working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, temperature -20 to +70C. It accepts Dia 10mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube and has a 1/8in PT female thread. It belongs to the resin/brass one-touch profile with a black PBT body, not the 0.9 MPa / 150C metal BP line.
No. AirTAC ships these threaded one-touch parts with sealant already applied to the thread, so the PCF1001D seals onto a male 1/8in PT stud as delivered. Only the M5 sizes in the range use a sealing gasket instead of thread sealant.
