The AirTAC Airtac PCF Female Thread Straight Fitting PCF602D 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 AirTAC PCF602D is a one-touch female connector: the tubing side is a Dia 6 mm push-in socket, the machine side is a 1/4 in internal PT taper thread that screws onto a male stud or nipple. Push the soft nylon or polyurethane tube straight in and the stainless spring gasket plus POM chuck grip it against the brass-body passageway; press the release ring and the tube comes free again. Because the D suffix sits on a PCF, it recolours the entire body black, not just the release button - unlike PC and POC straights, where black affects only the button.
This is the resin and brass one-touch profile: working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum down to -750 mmHg, proof pressure 1.5 MPa, and a temperature window of -20 to +70 C. The internal thread arrives pre-sealed from the factory, so it mates onto a taped or pre-coated 1/4 in male taper stud without extra paste. The -750 mmHg rating also means the same part can sit on a vacuum ejector line as well as a pressure line.

Screws onto the pre-threaded 1/4 in male outlets of a 5/2 solenoid manifold on a packaging machine, turning each station into a 6 mm push-in point for gripper and clamp lines.
The -750 mmHg rating lets the same fitting serve the ejector side of a robotic pick-and-place cell, feeding 6 mm vacuum tube to suction cups on cartons or blister packs.
The all-black body blends into painted guards and dark control cabinets on retrofitted machine tools, where grey resin fittings stand out against the frame.
You are in the middle of the PCF 1/4 in ladder, which runs Dia 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12. One step down is PCF402D - a smaller bore feeding lighter loads such as a single small cylinder, with slightly less capacity per metre of run. One step up is PCF802D, whose wider 8 mm bore carries more volume to faster or longer strokes. Tube OD must match exactly: a Dia 6 socket will not seal on 6.35 mm (1/4 in) imperial tube.
If the thread is the variable instead, the same Dia 6 socket is also offered as PCF601 (1/8 in) and PCF603 (3/8 in) - check which male stud your manifold actually presents before ordering. And if your port is female rather than male, a PC male connector, not this PCF, is the part you want.
Quick checklist
It is a one-touch female connector taking Dia 6 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube on a 1/4 in internal PT taper thread, with a black body. Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum rating -750 mmHg, proof pressure 1.5 MPa, and operating temperature -20 to +70 C.
On the PCF series the D recolours the whole body to black, not merely the release button as on PC and POC straights. Pressures, temperatures and dimensions are identical to the grey version, so you order it purely for appearance or colour-coding by circuit.
