SMC KQ2L04-02AS Pneumatic Connector (KQ2L0402AS)
1. Product Overview
The SMC KQ2L04-02AS is a 90° elbow one-touch pneumatic connector from the KQ2 series, designed for quick and reliable connection between 4 mm outer diameter air tubing and R1/4 male threads in industrial pneumatic systems. It features a push-in tube connection and R1/4 male thread with pre-applied sealant, enabling tool-free assembly and disassembly to minimize downtime during maintenance or reconfiguration. The connector supports a pressure range of -100 kPa to 1 MPa and an operating temperature of -5°C to 60°C, making it suitable for automation, packaging, material handling, and general machinery applications. Its compact, lightweight brass body with electroless nickel plating ensures corrosion resistance and durability, while the built-in seal guarantees leak-free performance, meeting the demands of standard industrial environments with low maintenance and long service life.
2. Main Functions
| Function | Detailed Description |
|---|---|
| Tool-Free Tube Connection | Push-in design allows instant insertion of 4 mm OD tubing; the collet and chuck mechanism secures the tube firmly without tools, speeding up assembly and reducing labor costs. |
| 90° Elbow Routing | 90-degree angled body redirects airflow perpendicular to the thread axis, optimizing pipeline layout in confined spaces and simplifying installation around machinery or equipment obstacles. |
| Reliable Threaded Sealing | R1/4 male thread with pre-applied sealant ensures airtight connection to valves, regulators, or other pneumatic components, eliminating the need for additional tape or sealant. |
| Quick Disconnection | Release collar design releases both the chuck and collet simultaneously, requiring minimal force to remove tubing for fast system reconfiguration or component replacement. |
| Vacuum & Pressure Compatibility | Operates across -100 kPa (full vacuum) to 1 MPa, suitable for both vacuum-based pick-and-place and standard pressure pneumatic applications like suction cup systems or cylinder actuation. |
3. Technical Features
- One-Touch Locking Mechanism: The push-in collet system provides secure tube retention with consistent clamping force, preventing accidental disconnection even under vibration or pressure fluctuations.
- Corrosion-Resistant Construction: Brass body with electroless nickel plating enhances resistance to industrial contaminants, humidity, and minor chemical exposure, extending service life in harsh environments.
- Integrated Sealing System: Premium nitrile rubber (NBR) seal ensures leak-free operation; the seal automatically adjusts to tube outer diameter variations for reliable performance with standard 4 mm OD tubing (FEP, PFA, nylon, polyurethane).
- Pre-Applied Sealant on Thread: R1/4 male thread comes with factory-applied sealant, reducing assembly steps and ensuring consistent sealing without user error from improper tape application.
- Wide Fluid & Temperature Compatibility: Suitable for air and water (water use: 0-40°C, non-freezing); temperature range of -5°C to 60°C accommodates most industrial operating conditions.
- High Burst Pressure Rating: 3 MPa proof pressure (at 23°C) ensures structural integrity and safety under overpressure conditions, preventing catastrophic failure during system testing or unexpected pressure spikes.
- RoHS Compliance: Meets RoHS standards for restricted substances, supporting environmentally friendly manufacturing and equipment design.
