SMC KDM Series, Polyurethane Pneumatic Fitting One-Touch Fitting

SMC KDM Series Pneumatic Fitting, 1MPa Maximum Operating Pressure, 60°C Maximum Operating Temperature - KDM10P-06

This pneumatic fitting is a panel-mounted connector designed to provide quick tube connections within compressed-air systems. Manufactured by SMC, it is intended for installation through panels to manage airflow with a one-touch connection method. The product is constructed from polyurethane and is suitable for environments where moderate temperatures and pressures are present.

Features and Benefits:

• One-touch connection reduces assembly time and simplifies tube changes
  Rated for continuous operation up to 60°C to handle warmer environments
  Maximum working pressure of 1MPa to support higher-pressure circuits
  Panel-mounting format enables secure integration into control panels
  Polyurethane construction resists abrasion for extended service life

Applications

• Suitable for factory control panels distributing compressed air
  Ideal for pneumatic valve islands requiring compact panel feedthroughs
  Used with instrument enclosures needing fast tube disconnects
  Can be used for assembly-line feeders operating at elevated temperatures
  Suitable for retrofit projects replacing push-in air connectors

What connection method does it use for tubing?

It employs a one-touch fitting mechanism that allows push-in insertion and automatic gripping of polyurethane tubing for quick attachment and removal.

How should it be oriented when installed through a panel?

The unit is designed to secure into a panel cut-out so the connection face is accessible from the external side while the body is retained behind the panel for stable mounting.

What material considerations affect chemical exposure?

The body is made from polyurethane, which offers good abrasion resistance but may have specific compatibility limits with certain solvents or aggressive chemicals.

Is the product suitable where regulatory restriction on materials is required?

It conforms to RoHS standards, indicating restricted use of particular hazardous substances in its construction.
