$8.34
The SMC 10-KQ2XD06-08A is a clean room specification metric-size one-touch fitting from the KQ2XD series, configured as a double plug-in Y connector. Part number decoded: KQ2XD = one-touch double plug-in Y connector, 06 = 6mm tube OD (branch outlets), 08 = 8mm tube OD (inlet), A = standard specification. This fitting splits one 8mm supply tube into two 6mm branch tubes in a Y configuration, all using push-in connections with no threaded ports.
The double plug-in Y provides a reducing branch distribution point: the single 8mm inlet carries the main supply flow, which splits into two 6mm branches feeding individual downstream devices. This is more compact and cleaner than using a tee plus two reducers to achieve the same routing. Common clean room applications include distributing air from a main 8mm supply to two parallel small actuators, splitting vacuum to dual suction cups, and creating dual sensor airline taps from a single source.
The KQ2XD06-08A eliminates three separate fittings (one tee plus two reducers) with a single component, reducing the number of connection points, potential leak paths, and particle generation sources. For equal-size Y splitting (8mm to 8mm), the KQ2X series provides non-reducing Y connectors. For three-port splitting with a threaded connection, the KQ2T tee series adds a male thread on one branch. For stainless steel construction, consult SMC for KG-series Y availability. Clean series (10-) fluorine grease, Particle Grade 1. RoHS compliant.
