AirTAC 3V106A-12 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A12F)
The AirTAC AirTAC 3V106A-12 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A12F) 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-12 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A12F)
The AirTAC 3V106A12F is a 3/2-way, direct-acting solenoid valve with spring return, built as a 12-station manifold assembly on 1/8in PT ports. Each station feeds or vents one line, so it drives single-acting cylinders, clamps, air-blow nozzles or pilots a larger valve.
The AC220V coil draws only 4.5 VA per station and plugs into a DIN socket, so wiring twelve valves takes twelve short connector plugs rather than twelve separate bodies and tubing banks. A manual override on each station lets you commission the whole block position by position, and the unit carries IP65 protection to DIN 40050.

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-12 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A12F) Is Used
Palletizer clamp bank
A row of single-acting clamp cylinders on a palletizing cell picks up twelve positions at once; one 12-station base replaces twelve loose valves and their tubing bundles.
Tray-seal blow-off
On a food tray-sealing line, individual stations pulse short air blasts to clear crumbs and film from the sealing die between cycles.
Bottling reject gate
Each reject position on a bottling line gets its own small 3/2 valve to kick a faulty bottle off the rail, all fed from a single AC220V supply.
Is the AirTAC 3V106A-12 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A12F) the Right Part?
The 3V1 is the smallest, lowest-power body in AirTAC's 3V range, and no flow coefficient is published for it - if your duty is flow-critical, send us the demand and we will confirm suitability. Need more flow or a selectable initial state? Step up to the 3V2 (1/8in and 1/4in, NC or NO selectable, Cv 0.18-0.19, vacuum rated) or the 3V3 (1/4in, Cv 0.62). Where dense packaging beats flow, the 3V2M is the manifold specialist. If the actuator is a double-acting cylinder, you need a 5-port valve - the AirTAC 4V series.
Before ordering a 12-station block, confirm five points: port (M5 or 1/8in), thread (PT standard on this family, G and NPT are catalogue options to order), coil voltage, electrical entry (DIN plug vs flying lead) and 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 Blank any unused station on the base before pressurising.
- check Wiring by qualified personnel, per AirTAC documentation.
AirTAC 3V106A-12 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A12F) FAQ
Operating pressure 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi); media temperature -20 to 70 C; AC220V coil power 4.5 VA (the same body runs 4.5 VA on AC110V, 5.0 VA on AC24V, 3.0 W on DC24V and 2.5 W on DC12V); protection IP65 to DIN 40050; 1/8in PT ports on a 12-station base. AirTAC publishes no Cv for the 3V1 body, so confirm flow-critical duties with us.
A shared base means one mounting footprint and one panel cutout instead of twelve loose bodies, fittings and brackets - panel space and installation time both drop. Accessories such as the 3V1-P30 connecting-screw base set, the 3V1-P31 O-ring and long screw set or the 3V1-P32 mounting-bracket set support the assembly.
