New ultraminiature M3-threaded quick disconnects weigh only 3.4 gm.

The brass internal end is designed with an automatic shut-off valve and an M3 internal thread. It is only about 16.7 mm long and has a 6-mm hexagonal body. The stainless-steel external end has an M3 external thread, a captured O-ring seal for leaktight connection, and is only about 11-mm long with a 5-mm hex body.
