The AirTAC Airtac PEB T-Shaped Straight Thread Tee Connector PEB6M5D-S 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 PEB6M5D-S is an AirTAC PEB male branch tee with a Dia 6 mm one-touch tube socket and an M5x0.8 male thread, finished in black and built on the SUS304 stud variant. Unlike a run tee, a branch tee puts the threaded leg at 90 degrees to the tube run, so you can split a line without re-routing the main run. To make the joint, push the 6 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube straight into the socket until it bottoms out - the internal chuck grips the tube and the stainless spring gasket seals it. Pressing the release ring frees the tube again for rework.
The M5 thread on this tee closes with a sealing gasket rather than the thread sealant used on the larger tapered sizes, so no extra tape or compound is needed on the port. This is the standard resin one-touch profile: working pressure 0-1.0 MPa, vacuum to -750 mmHg, proof pressure 1.5 MPa, and -20 to +70 C. On the -S version the brass stud is replaced by a SUS304 stud while the body stays PBT - so the corrosion exposure at the port is handled by the stainless stud, but this is not an all-stainless-body fitting.

POM release button and chuck, aluminium-alloy guide, stainless spring gasket, NBR O-ring; body brass or PBT depending on the part. Stainless (-S): SUS304 in place of brass - a solid SUS304 body on the PC and POC straight connectors, and a PBT body with a SUS304 stud on the elbow, tee and branch shapes. Working pressure, proof pressure and temperature are unchanged from the standard version. AirTAC publishes flow as a characteristic curve rather than a single figure, so no L/min value is listed.

Branch off the vacuum or blow-off line at a rotary pick-and-place head without adding a second fitting - the threaded leg takes an M5 ported nozzle or sensor while the Dia 6 run continues to the next station.
Small pneumatic valve manifolds and electro-pneumatic regulators often carry M5 ports. This tee lets a Dia 6 feed line serve that port and still pass the supply onward along the gantry extrusion.
In laboratory dosing modules and sample transport rigs, 6 mm lines are common and panel space is scarce. The 90-degree threaded branch drops a clean take-off to a gauge or mini cylinder where the stainless stud resists cleaning chemicals.
Dia 6 with M5 sits near the top of this tee's small-thread ladder: the only other M5 part on the PEB series is the Dia 4 PEB4M5-S, which suits slimmer 4 mm sensing lines. There is no Dia 8 or larger PEB on M5 at all - AirTAC's interface table stops M5 at Dia 6 for this series - so if you need a bigger bore you step both thread and tube, for example to the PEB601-S with a 1/8 thread.
Match the M5 port to a socket that genuinely is M5x0.8; forcing an M5 gasket-sealed stud into a 10-32 UNF hole strips both. And remember the one-touch rule: the socket is for Dia 6 mm tube exactly - it will not hold 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) tube, and a 6.35 mm tube pushed in will leak or blow off under pressure.
Quick checklist
It is a one-touch male branch tee joining Dia 6 mm tube to an M5x0.8 male thread (PT thread standard family, M5 closed by a sealing gasket). Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, negative pressure -750 mmHg (10 Torr), and the temperature range is -20 to +70 C. It takes soft nylon or polyurethane tubing only. The body is black PBT and the stud is SUS304; the release button and chuck are POM, the guide is aluminium alloy, the spring gasket is stainless and the O-ring is NBR. These ratings are identical to the standard PEB6M5 - the -S changes the stud material only.
No. AirTAC fits a sealing gasket on the M5 sizes instead of the pre-applied sealant used on the larger tapered threads, so you install the PEB6M5D-S into an M5x0.8 port as delivered - no PTFE tape or compound. Adding sealant can actually prevent the gasket from seating squarely and cause a leak. Just confirm the port really is M5x0.8 before tightening, since a number of imported sub-plate ports look similar but are 10-32 UNF.
