AirTAC 3V106A-10 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A10F-AM)
The AirTAC AirTAC 3V106A-10 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A10F-AM) 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.

About the AirTAC 3V106A-10 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A10F-AM)
The 3V106A10F is a ten-station manifold assembly built around the AirTAC 3V1 direct-acting 3/2 solenoid valve. Each station feeds or vents one line, so it is suited to single-acting (spring-return) cylinders, blow-off nozzles, clamps or piloting a larger valve. A single solenoid with spring return puts every station back to its rest position whenever coil power drops.
This assembly carries the AC220V coil, which draws just 4.5 VA per station, so a full ten stations still present a modest electrical load on your panel. The body is IP65 (DIN 40050), a manual override is fitted for commissioning, and the valve ships in one fixed initial state - the catalogue describes the 3V1 as a normally open type - so confirm the rest state on the datasheet before wiring.

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 3V106A-10 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A10F-AM) Is Used
Multi-nozzle blow-off on packaging lines
Ten independent 3/2 stations on one manifold let a packaging machine jet product dust off trays, webs or filled cartons point by point, each venting cleanly to its own exhaust when de-energised.
Clamp actuation on electronics assembly fixtures
Each station switches a small single-acting swing clamp or spring-return pin on a PCB or connector assembly fixture, and the spring return drops every clamp safely when the AC220V supply is cut.
Pilot switching in a compact control panel
The 10-station base packs ten 4.5 VA pilot valves behind one panel cutout, driving larger process valves or small actuators where panel space is at a premium.
Is the AirTAC 3V106A-10 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A10F-AM) the Right Part?
Because ten 3V1 valves sit side by side on one common base, this code suits machines that switch many small lines from one compact footprint. AirTAC publishes no Cv or effective area for the 3V1 body, so if flow per station is critical, send us the duty and we will confirm suitability before you order. When a station needs more flow, step up to the 3V2 (1/8" and 1/4", NC or NO selectable, Cv 0.18-0.19 and rated for vacuum) or the 3V3 (1/4", Cv 0.62); if manifold density matters more than flow per station, 3V2M is the denser alternative. For double-acting cylinders you need a 5-port valve from the AirTAC 4V range instead.
Before ordering, match five points to your machine: port size (M5 or 1/8"), thread (PT is standard on this family; G and NPT are catalogue options to order), coil voltage, electrical entry (DIN plug on this code, flying lead if you order the I variant), and whether you need an individual valve or a manifold with a specific station count such as this 10F assembly.
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 Blank any unused station on the base before pressurising.
- check Wiring by qualified personnel, per AirTAC documentation.
AirTAC 3V106A-10 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A10F-AM) FAQ
It is a 10-station manifold of direct-acting, single-solenoid, spring-return 3/2 valves with 1/8" PT ports and an AC220V coil rated at 4.5 VA per valve. Operating pressure is 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi), ambient and medium temperature is -20 to 70 C, and protection is IP65 (DIN 40050). The medium is air filtered through a 40 um or finer element, and lubrication is not required. No flow coefficient (Cv) is published for the 3V1 body - ask us to confirm flow for your duty.
Each station is a 3/2 valve with three ports (supply, outlet, exhaust) and two states, so it either feeds its outlet or vents it. That suits single-acting (spring-return) cylinders, air blow-off, clamps and pilot duty. It cannot drive a double-acting cylinder, which needs a 5-port valve from the AirTAC 4V series. Each valve also carries a manual override for setup and fault-finding without electrical power.
