Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106A-X1
The AirTAC Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106A-X1 is a genuine 3-port 2-position (3/2) solenoid valve with 1/8 in ports. It either feeds its outlet or vents it to exhaust, which is what makes it the valve for single-acting cylinders, on/off air blow, clamping, vacuum switching and pilot duty.
- Valve type3/2-way (3-port, 2-position)
- Port size1/8 in
- Coil voltageAC220V
- Electrical entryDIN plug (DIN socket type)
- Series3V1
About the Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106A-X1
The AirTAC 3V106A-X1 is the smallest body in the 3V1 family: a 3/2, direct-acting valve with one solenoid and a spring return. It has three ports - supply, outlet and exhaust - so it either feeds a single line or vents it, which makes it right for single-acting cylinders, air blow, clamps and piloting a larger valve. The AC220V coil draws just 4.5 VA. The -X1 ordering suffix is not part of the standard 3V1 code, so confirm its exact meaning on the datasheet or with us before ordering.
A manual override button lets you shift the valve during installation and commissioning, and the coil housing carries IP65 (DIN 40050) protection. Supply air should be filtered through a 40 um or finer element; no lubrication is required.

What a 3/2 Valve Does
A 3/2 valve has three ports — supply, outlet and exhaust — and two states. It either feeds the outlet or vents it to exhaust, and that is the whole job.
That makes it the right valve for a single-acting (spring-return) cylinder, on/off air blow, a clamp, switching a vacuum generator or suction cup, and piloting a larger valve.
It cannot run a double-acting cylinder. A double-acting cylinder needs air alternately on two sides, which takes a 5-port valve — the AirTAC 4V series.
Where the Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106A-X1 Is Used
Blow-off on a labelling line
Feeds a small nozzle that pulses air across labels to clear dust and static before the print head, with the spring return venting the line between shots.
Swing clamp on a welding fixture
Actuates a single-acting swing clamp holding a sheet-metal part; de-energising the coil vents the clamp so its internal spring opens it.
Pilot stage on a process valve skid
Uses the 4.5 VA AC220V coil as a low-power pilot for a larger process valve on a water-treatment or compressor skid.
Is the Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106A-X1 the Right Part?
3V1 is the lowest-power, smallest-port body in AirTAC's 3V range and publishes no Cv, so for flow-critical duties confirm the sizing with us first. When you need more flow, step up to 3V2 (1/8in and 1/4in ports, NC or NO selectable, Cv 0.18-0.19, and rated for vacuum) or 3V3 (1/4in, Cv 0.62); choose 3V2M where a dense manifold matters more than flow. If the actuator is a double-acting cylinder, that needs a 5-port valve - go to the AirTAC 4V series. Before ordering, confirm five points: port (M5 or 1/8in), thread (PT is the standard on this family; G and NPT are order options), coil voltage, electrical entry (DIN plug or flying lead), and individual valve versus manifold station count.
Confirm before you order
- ✓ Port size and thread (PT from stock; G / NPT to order)
- ✓ Coil voltage matches your controller output
- ✓ Electrical entry — DIN plug or flying lead
- ✓ Single valve, bare base, or complete assembly
- ✓ Single-acting duty, not double-acting
Installation & Wiring Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Stay within 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi) operating pressure.
- check Match the coil voltage to your controller output.
- check Use the manual override to test before powering up.
- check Leave the exhaust port clear, or fit a silencer.
- check Wiring by qualified personnel, per AirTAC documentation.
Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106A-X1 FAQ
Operating pressure 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi); media temperature -20 to 70 C; coil power 4.5 VA on AC220V (the 3V1 family also runs AC110V 4.5 VA, AC24V 5.0 VA, DC24V 3.0 W, DC12V 2.5 W); protection IP65 (DIN 40050). No flow coefficient or effective area is published for 3V1 - confirm flow-critical duties with us.
It is a 3/2 valve: supply, outlet and exhaust, two states. It feeds or vents one line, so it runs single-acting spring-return cylinders, on/off air blow and clamping duties, and it can pilot a larger valve. It cannot drive a double-acting cylinder - that requires a 5-port AirTAC 4V valve.
