The AirTAC Airtac POC Round Thread Straight Connector POC6M5 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 POC6M5 is AirTAC's compact POC male connector, the shorter-bodied sibling of the PC straight connector. It joins a Dia 6 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a fixed M5x0.8 male port, making it a natural match for the small threaded ports machined into compact cylinders, manifolds and pneumatic sensors. Push the tube home and the internal chuck grips it against the spring gasket; press the POM release ring and the tube slides straight back out.
This is the resin and brass one-touch profile: working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, and a temperature window of -20 to +70 C. The chuck and button are POM, the guide is aluminium alloy and the O-ring is NBR. One detail worth knowing before you wrench it in: because this is an M5 thread, AirTAC seals it with a sealing gasket rather than the pre-applied thread sealant used on the larger 01-04 sizes, so do not add PTFE tape on top of the gasket face.

The compact POC body clears the close-spaced M5 ports on a small AirTAC guided cylinder driving a vacuum or gripper head, where a full-length PC connector would foul the bracket.
Dia 6 polyurethane tubing feeding M5-threaded pressure switches and ejector ports on a horizontal flow-wrapper keeps signal air lines short and tool-free to service.
An M5 stub threaded into a lab fixture or test manifold takes the POC6M5 directly, letting a technician swap Dia 6 test lines by hand between runs without sealant mess.
On the POC ladder, M5 supports exactly two tube bores: Dia 4 and Dia 6. That makes this SKU the largest tube you can hang off an M5 port in this series - if you need Dia 8 or bigger on a 1/8 in port, step up to the POC8 01 or a 1/4 in thread, both of which open up more tube options. Stepping down to POC4M5 buys nothing in thread but suits genuinely miniature 4 mm sensing lines; the difference is bore only, so pick the one your existing tube already matches.
Check the mating port carefully: M5x0.8 is a fine metric thread common on small AirTAC cylinders and Asian-market valve stations, and it is not interchangeable with 1/8 in PT. And remember the one-touch golden rule - the fitting is Dia 6, so it holds Dia 6 tube and nothing else; a 1/4 in tube will seat in the button but never seal.
Quick checklist
It is a Dia 6 mm compact male connector with an M5x0.8 male thread. Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), it holds vacuum to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa, and the temperature range is -20 to +70 C. It runs soft nylon or polyurethane tube and comes in grey as standard.
No. AirTAC ships the 1/8 to 1/2 in threaded fittings with sealant already on the thread, but M5 sizes in this series are sealed by a dedicated sealing gasket instead. Fit the POC6M5 with a spanner on its flats and leave the gasket to do the sealing - adding PTFE tape can distort the joint and cause a leak.
