The AirTAC Airtac PEB T-Shaped Straight Thread Tee Connector PEB6M5D is a genuine male branch tee for push-in tube connection, rated 0 - 1.0 MPa (0 - 10 kgf/cm2) with a 1.5 MPa proof pressure.
The AirTAC PEB6M5D is a male branch tee in the resin one-touch range, joining a single Dia 6 mm tube to an M5x0.8 male thread set at 90 degrees to the tube run. The branch leg carries the thread, so the two tube ports stay inline and the tapped outlet projects sideways - the defining difference from the PED male run tee, where the thread sits in the run itself. Push the tube home and the stainless spring gasket chuck grips it; press the POM release ring and it frees again. The D suffix gives this fitting a black body rather than the standard grey.
This is the resin profile, not the metal BPC line: working pressure 0-1.0 MPa, vacuum to -750 mmHg, proof pressure 1.5 MPa, and a temperature window of -20 to +70 C with soft nylon or polyurethane tubing. The body is PBT, the release button and chuck are POM, and the stud is brass. One practical detail: M5 threaded parts arrive with a sealing gasket instead of the pre-applied thread sealant used on the larger tapered threads, so the seal is made at the gasket face rather than in the threads.

Pick-and-place heads built around M5-ported vacuum ejectors suit this tee: the 6 mm supply run tees off inline while the M5 branch screws straight into the ejector's gasket-sealed port without an adapter.
Branching a pilot-pressure signal to a pressure switch or secondary solenoid on a machine's valve manifold is a natural branch-tee job - the M5 stud seats into small manifold taps where a 1/8 fitting would be oversized.
On benchtop dispensing and micro-screwdriver stations, the 90-degree threaded branch lets the 6 mm air line drop vertically off a horizontal run into the head, keeping the routing inside tight guarding.
With an M5 thread on the PEB ladder only Dia 4 and Dia 6 tubes exist, so this is the largest M5 branch tee in the series. Step down to PEB4M5 for 4 mm signal lines; if you need an 8 mm branch, the M5 thread is no longer available and you move to PEB801 on a 1/8 port. On the tube side, match the OD exactly - a Dia 6 chuck will not hold 1/4 in (6.35 mm) tubing, which is a fraction too large and will leak or blow off.
Choose a branch tee over a run tee when the threaded take-off should sit perpendicular to the tubing run - typical where a pilot line branches off at a right angle. If the port faces along the run instead, look at PED; if you need a symmetric three-way split with no thread, PE union tee is the shape. For a pass-through panel mount, PMF bulkhead connector is the right family, not PEB.
Quick checklist
It is a resin one-touch male branch tee for Dia 6 mm tube with an M5x0.8 male thread (PT standard). Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, and operating temperature -20 to +70 C. Use soft nylon or polyurethane tubing. The body is PBT with a brass stud and POM release button; the M5 port seals with a gasket.
No. The chuck is sized for exactly 6 mm OD tube - 1/4 in (6.35 mm) tubing will not seal or hold. The thread is also fixed at M5x0.8 in this code; for a bigger port, step to PEB601 (Dia 6 tube, 1/8 in thread) or PEB801 (Dia 8 tube, 1/8 in thread) rather than adapting the M5 stud with reducers, which adds leak points.
