SMC AS Series Speed Controller Pneumatic Elbow Threaded-to-Tube Adapter, 3/8 in G G 3/8 in One-touch Fitting 8 mm

SMC Series AS Pneumatic Elbow Threaded-to-Tube adaptor, 3/8 inches Inlet size, 8mm Outlet size - AS3201F-G03-08A

This pneumatic elbow threaded-to-tube adaptor connects a threaded pneumatic supply to a push-in tube in Compact right-angle installations. It is intended for use in industrial automation and mechanical systems where a change of direction and quick tube connection are required. The component combines metallic and engineered-plastic construction to suit standard compressed-air environments while conforming to RoHS requirements.

Features & Benefits

• Maximum operating pressure 1MPa provides robust serviceability
  Proof pressure 1.5MPa gives margin for pressure spikes
  Operating temperature range down to -5°C and up to 60°C supports varied environments
  Threaded inlet in G standard enables compatibility with common pipework
  One-touch 8mm outlet allows Rapid push-in tube assembly
  Brass and PBT construction balances durability with lightweight design

**Applications**

• Suitable for pneumatic control panels requiring Compact directional change
  Ideal for machine tools needing quick-disconnect tubing at corners
  Used with assembly-line actuators where limited space demands elbow fittings
  Can be used for pneumatic speed-control installations in automation cells

What inlet and outlet connection types does it use?

It has a 3/8in G threaded inlet and an 8mm one-touch push-in outlet for tube connection.

How does the material choice affect chemical resistance?

The metal portion is brass for corrosion resistance to general compressed-air environments while the PBT plastic resists oils and many common industrial cleaners.

What minimum pressure is required for reliable operation?

The fitting functions down to a minimum operating pressure of 0.1MPa for pneumatic circuits that operate at low supply pressures.

Is the fitting suitable where occasional overpressure may occur?

The fitting’s proof pressure of 1.5MPa provides a safety margin above its 1MPa maximum operating rating to tolerate temporary pressure excursions.
