The AirTAC Airtac POC Round Thread Straight Connector POC1004D is a genuine male connector (compact) for push-in tube connection, rated 0 - 1.0 MPa (0 - 10 kgf/cm2) with a 1.5 MPa proof pressure.
The POC1004D is AirTAC's compact one-touch male connector in the 10 mm tube x 1/2 in PT thread size, finished with the D-suffix black release button. POC is the shortened-body member of the resin one-touch range: it does the same job as the PC connector but takes up less axial space, which matters when a port sits close to a wall, guard or adjacent valve. The 1/2 in male stud arrives with thread sealant already applied, so it goes straight into a PT port without extra sealing tape.
Installation is push-to-connect: square-cut the soft nylon or polyurethane tube, push it fully into the Dia 10 chuck until it stops, and the stainless spring gasket and POM chuck grip it against the NBR O-ring seal. Pressing the black release button frees the tube again. This is the resin/brass spec profile: 0-1.0 MPa working pressure, -750 mmHg vacuum, 1.5 MPa proof pressure, -20 to +70 C. Note that on POC parts the D suffix changes only the release button colour, not the body.

Screws directly into the 1/2 in head port of a large-bore air cylinder on a palletising head, feeding it with Dia 10 line while the compact body clears the mounting boss where a full-length PC connector would foul the fixture.
Rated to -750 mmHg, so it suits the suction side of a carton-forming machine picking flaps with Dia 10 vacuum cup tubing, with the 1/2 in stud landing on the venturi manifold outlet.
Used as a single 1/2 in take-off from a valve manifold supplyingDia 10 drops to grippers and reject blow-offs along a bottling conveyor, keeping the connection height low under the guarding.
For a 1/2 in thread on the POC ladder, Dia 10 is the smallest tube size made - the only step up is Dia 12 (POC1204), which gives a larger bore and lower restriction on longer runs. If your tube is Dia 10 but the port is smaller, POC1003 (3/8 in) and POC1002 (1/4 in) both exist for this tube size, so you rarely need an adapter. Use a PL male elbow instead if the tube must leave the port at 90 degrees, or a PMF bulkhead connector if the connection has to pass through a panel wall.
Tube OD must match exactly: this fitting holds 10 mm OD soft nylon or polyurethane only. It will not seal on 3/8 in (9.5 mm) imperial tube or on 12 mm, and hard nylon wall types outside the soft grade will not clamp reliably.
Quick checklist
Working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure down to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, operating temperature -20 to +70 C. This SKU is the Dia 10 mm tube size with a 1/2 in PT male thread and the black D-suffix release button, from the resin/brass one-touch family for soft nylon or polyurethane tubing.
No. On the POC compact connector the D suffix changes only the release button to black; the body stays the standard grey. On many other AirTAC one-touch series the D suffix changes the whole body, which is a common point of confusion when ordering matching sets of fittings.
