The AirTAC Airtac POC Round Thread Straight Connector POC801 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 AirTAC POC801 is a POC series one-touch compact male connector, the shorter-bodied sibling of the PC male connector. It pairs Dia 8 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing with a 1/8 in PT male thread, all in one pre-assembled push-in part. The compact body earns its place where a full-length connector would stand proud of the port - close-packed manifolds, tight guards, shallow pockets behind covers.
Installation is genuinely one-touch: push the 8 mm tube straight in and the stainless spring gasket and chuck set grip it against a sealed NBR O-ring; press the POM release ring to free it again. This is the resin/brass profile, rated 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2) working, 1.5 MPa proof, -750 mmHg vacuum and -20 to +70 C. The 1/8 in thread arrives with sealant already applied, and the POC body is grey as standard - on POC the D suffix changes only the release button, not the body.

Compact valve islands leave little room between outlets, and a full-length connector often fouls the next solenoid. The POC801's shortened body clears neighbours while feeding 8 mm lines to the wrapper and sealing stations.
End-of-arm plumbing is cramped and sees constant flexing. Push the 8 mm polyurethane line straight onto the gripper's 1/8 in port - the chuck grip holds under arm acceleration, and the release ring lets a technician swap the line in seconds.
The POC801 is rated to -750 mmHg (10 Torr) as well as pressure, so it can sit directly in the suction line between the ejector and the 8 mm vacuum tube running to the cups, with no need for a separate threaded vacuum fitting.
On the POC 1/8 in ladder the neighbours are POC601 one step down and POC1001 one step up - note that Dia 10 is the largest tube 1/8 in POC is made in, so there is no POC1201. Stepping to POC601 suits thin signal and pilot lines and shrinks the installed footprint further; stepping to POC1001 buys more bore for short runs to a larger actuator, at the cost of a wider collet and body. Capacity scales with the tube bore, not the fitting body, so pick the size the circuit actually needs.
Match the 1/8 in PT thread to the port before anything else - if the machine prints 1/4 in ports, the correct part is POC802, not this SKU. And keep the tubing honest: this collet holds exactly Dia 8 mm metric tube. It will not clamp 5/16 in imperial tube (7.94 mm) or 10 mm tube, and a mismatched size is the classic slow-leak fault. If the line has to turn, consider a PL elbow instead of adding a separate bend.
Quick checklist
Working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, vacuum capability -750 mmHg (10 Torr), operating temperature -20 to +70 C. The fitting connects Dia 8 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a 1/8 in PT male thread, with a POM button and chuck, PBT body, brass stud, stainless spring gasket and NBR O-ring.
No. The chuck set inside the POC801 is machined for exactly Dia 8 mm metric tube, so 5/16 in (7.94 mm) tube seals weakly and 10 mm tube will not enter at all. If your line is 10 mm and the port is 1/8 in PT, order POC1001; if the tube is 6 mm, order POC601. Always match the tube OD to the number in the part code.
