The AirTAC Airtac POC Round Thread Straight Connector POC601 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 POC601 is AirTAC's compact male connector from the resin one-touch family: a Dia 6 mm push-in port on one end and a male 1/8 in PT thread on the other. POC is the shortened-body sibling of the PC connector, so it sits closer to the port face when fittings sit side by side.
To make the joint, push the 6 mm soft nylon or PU tube straight into the chuck until it bottoms out - the stainless spring gasket and chuck jaws lock it against pull-out - and press the POM release ring to let it go. This is the resin spec profile: 0 to 1.0 MPa working pressure, -750 mmHg vacuum capability and -20 to +70 C service. The 1/8 in thread arrives pre-coated with sealant, so no additional tape or paste is needed at the port.

Valve manifolds often space 1/8 in ports so tightly that a full-length connector collar fouls the next nut. The POC601's reduced body length lets Dia 6 drop legs exit from adjacent ports without a spanner jam.
Small parallel grippers on electronics assembly heads usually take 6 mm hose. A short straight connector at the wrist port keeps the tubing run low-profile and easy to release during changeovers.
Blow-off jets that clear caps and labels from a conveyor are typically plumbed in 6 mm PU from a 1/8 in tapped header, and the push-fit release makes nozzle repositioning a seconds-long job.
On the 1/8 in thread, this connector's ladder runs Dia 4, 6, 8 and 10. Stepping down to POC401 gives you a 4 mm line for small pilot and signal circuits; stepping up to POC801 increases the bore for shorter cylinder and actuator feeds. Whichever rung you pick, the tubing OD must match exactly - a Dia 6 chuck will not seal on 1/4 in tube.
If you are matching a port, check the thread pitch rather than the hex size: 1/8 PT is the standard across this whole catalogue, and the factory sealant coating is designed for a metal-to-metal PT port. Where the fitting must pass through a panel instead of screwing onto a face, the PMF bulkhead connector is the right shape, not this one.
Quick checklist
Working pressure is 0 to 1.0 MPa (0 to 10 kgf/cm2), with a vacuum capability of -750 mmHg (10 Torr) and a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa. Service temperature spans -20 to +70 C. This particular part joins Dia 6 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a male 1/8 in PT thread, and the thread arrives with sealant applied.
The two are the same fitting functionally; POC is simply built on a shorter body for tight port spacing, and on POC the optional D (black) suffix changes only the release button, not the body colour. The chuck grips Dia 6 mm tube only - 4, 8 and 10 mm versions of the same 1/8 in connector exist as separate SKUs. Never force a mismatched OD into the chuck; it will not seal and can release under pressure.
