The AirTAC Airtac POC Round Thread Straight Connector POC6M5D 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 POC6M5D is AirTAC's compact POC male connector in one-touch form, joining Dia 6 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing to an M5x0.8 male thread. The compact body is the whole point of the POC prefix: it is AirTAC's shorter male connector, made for ports where a standard PC body would stand too proud or collide with adjacent hardware. To make the connection you push the tube straight into the chuck; the stainless spring gasket and gripper lock it against the 1.5 MPa proof pressure, and pressing the POM release ring frees it again.
Two details specific to this SKU are worth knowing before you order. First, the M5 thread seals with a sealing gasket rather than the pre-applied thread sealant used on the larger 1/8 to 1/2 inch sizes, so it seats cleanly into small tapped ports without curing time. Second, on the POC series the D suffix changes only the release button to black - the body stays the standard grey - so choose this code when you want the colour-coded button, not a black-bodied fitting. Ratings are the standard resin profile: 0-1.0 MPa working pressure, -750 mmHg (10 Torr) vacuum, -20 to +70 C.

Small parallel and angular grippers commonly carry M5x0.8 tapped ports and Dia 6 lines. The compact POC body keeps the fitting below the gripper's moving envelope, where a taller male connector would foul the part or the tool changer.
Compact multi-stage ejectors and their check-valve banks cluster M5 ports close together. The gasket-sealed M5 stud needs no curing sealant, and the short body leaves working space between neighbouring vacuum lines.
Feeder fingers, reject flippers and small air tables on form-fill-seal machines run Dia 6 hose from tight internal ports. The black release button gives maintenance staff a colour cue at the crowded cluster of fittings behind the guard.
Within the M5 ladder, POC is made in Dia 4 and Dia 6 only, so POC4M5 is the single smaller neighbour and there is no larger tube on an M5 stud in this series. If your circuit grows to Dia 8 mm, the correct move is POC8-01 - the 1/8 inch thread supports 4, 6, 8 and 10 mm tube - or step to the full-height PC range, whose M5 row is likewise capped at Dia 6. Match the tube OD exactly: the Dia 6 chuck in this fitting will not grip 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) tubing even though the numbers look close.
Pick POC over PC when the fitting sits in a tight row of ports, inside a manifold pocket, or anywhere a few millimetres of body length decide whether your tubing runs square or kinked. Confirm the port is actually tapped M5x0.8 - forcing this gasket-sealed stud into a 10-32 or M5x0.5 hole will strip the thread.
Quick checklist
This is the resin and brass one-touch line: working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure down to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, and an operating temperature of -20 to +70 C. The fitting joins Dia 6 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing to an M5x0.8 male thread and is supplied with a sealing gasket for the M5 port.
No. On the POC series the D suffix changes the release button only - the body remains the standard grey. The same is true of the PC series. On most other AirTAC one-touch families the D suffix changes the entire body colour, so do not assume the convention carries across ranges.
