SMC KQ2S04-M3G Hexagon Socket Head Male Connector
1. Product Overview
The SMC KQ2S04-M3G is a compact straight one-touch pneumatic connector from the KQ2 series, designed for seamless, tool-free connection between 4 mm outer diameter (OD) pneumatic tubing and M3 male threaded ports. Featuring a hexagon socket head for secure installation in confined spaces, this connector is optimized for small-scale automation systems, laboratory equipment, and precision instrumentation where minimal space and reliable airtight connections are critical. Its lightweight construction and corrosion-resistant materials ensure stable performance across vacuum and positive pressure applications, with compatibility for multiple tubing types to meet diverse industrial and experimental needs.
2. Main Functions
| Function | Detailed Description |
|---|---|
| Tool-Free 4 mm Tube Connection | Push-in design enables instant insertion and locking of 4 mm OD tubing; the internal collet mechanism provides firm clamping force without requiring tools, reducing assembly time and labor costs. |
| Space-Saving Hexagon Socket Installation | The hexagon socket head allows for secure fastening with an Allen key, making it ideal for installation in tight spaces where standard wrench access is limited. |
| Leak-Free Threaded Interface | M3 male thread ensures precise connection to small-diameter ports on valves, sensors, or miniature actuators, delivering airtight performance for low-flow pneumatic circuits. |
| Quick Tubing Disconnection | A simple push on the release collar disengages the collet, allowing fast tubing removal for system maintenance, reconfiguration, or component replacement without damage. |
| Vacuum & Positive Pressure Compatibility | Supports operation across a wide pressure range, from full vacuum (-100 kPa) to positive pressure (1.0 MPa), suitable for both suction-based pick-and-place and small-actuator control applications. |
3. Technical Features
- Miniature Compact Design: Ultra-small profile with minimal axial and radial dimensions, making it suitable for integration into dense automation setups and precision equipment with limited installation space.
- Corrosion-Resistant Materials: Brass body with electroless nickel plating resists rust and chemical contaminants; stainless steel (SUS304) collet and chuck components enhance wear resistance and durability.
- Multi-Tubing Compatibility: Works with 4 mm OD tubing made of polyurethane (PU), nylon, and polyethylene (PE), providing flexibility for different application requirements (e.g., flexibility, chemical resistance).
- Integrated Sealing System: Built-in nitrile rubber (NBR) seals ensure leak-free performance, eliminating the need for additional gaskets or sealants and simplifying installation.
- Wide Operating Conditions: Functions reliably at temperatures ranging from -5°C to 60°C, adapting to typical industrial and laboratory environments with non-condensing humidity.
- High Safety Rating: Boasts a 3.0 MPa proof pressure (at 23°C), ensuring structural integrity and preventing failure during pressure testing or unexpected pressure spikes.
- RoHS Compliance: Meets international environmental standards, free of restricted hazardous substances, suitable for eco-friendly manufacturing and research facilities.
