The AirTAC Airtac PCF Female Thread Straight Fitting PCF1002D 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 PCF1002D is an AirTAC PCF female connector, the one-touch fitting with an internal thread on the opposite side of the tube port. This version takes Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube into the push-in socket and presents a 1/4 in female PT thread for mating directly onto a male stud, so no separate nipple is needed between the fitting and the valve or cylinder port. The D suffix makes the body black rather than the standard grey, which many builders use to colour-code user-serviceable air points on a machine.
As a resin one-touch part it is rated 0-1.0 MPa working pressure, -750 mmHg vacuum, 1.5 MPa proof pressure and -20 to +70 C. Push the tube square into the socket and the internal chuck grips the OD while the stainless spring gasket and NBR O-ring seal it; press the POM release ring to free the tube again. Do not confuse this with AirTAC's metal BPC line, which trades a lower 0.9 MPa rating for a 0 to +150 C temperature range.

Screws straight onto the 1/4 in male outlet of a valve manifold on a packaging machine, turning a Dia 10 mm line toward the downstream cylinder without an extra straight adapter in between.
The black D body lets panel builders mark Dia 10 mm distribution drops distinctly from grey Dia 6 mm signal lines inside a control cabinet that feeds several machine stations.
Rated to -750 mmHg, so it suits the suction side of a vacuum ejector circuit lifting flat cartons or glass sheets on a handling table using Dia 10 mm soft nylon tube.
At Dia 10 you are on the second-largest tube in the PCF ladder. Step down to PCF802 for Dia 8 mm tube feeding smaller actuators, or up to PCF1202 for Dia 12 mm trunk lines where the extra bore matters for long runs. On the thread side, PCF1001 covers the same Dia 10 tube on a 1/8 in female port and PCF1003 steps up to 3/8 in. The fitting cannot stretch across sizes: a Dia 10 socket will not grip 3/8 in (10 mm nominal imperial) tube properly, and the tube OD must match exactly.
Choose the female thread when the equipment side already carries a male stud with its own seal, which saves a joint and a leak path. If you need to turn 90 degrees at the port, move to the PLF female elbow instead; for passing through a sheet-metal panel, the PMF bulkhead connector is the right shape.
Quick checklist
Working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum down to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, and a temperature range of -20 to +70 C. The fitting joins Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a 1/4 in female PT thread, and the D suffix gives it the black body.
No. On the PC and POC straight connectors the D changes only the release button, but on the other series including PCF it changes the body itself to black. Everything else is identical: same brass stud, PBT thread section, POM chuck, stainless spring gasket and NBR O-ring, and the same 0-1.0 MPa rating.
