AirTAC 3V106A-13 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A13F)
The AirTAC AirTAC 3V106A-13 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A13F) 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-13 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A13F)
Thirteen valves, one base: the 3V106A13F packs thirteen direct-acting 3/2 stations with spring return onto a single 1/8in PT manifold. Every station switches one line between supply and exhaust, which suits single-acting cylinders, air jets, clamps and pilot duty.
The AC220V solenoid needs just 4.5 VA per station, and IP65 sealing (DIN 40050) protects the coil zone against dust and splashes. A manual override on each station lets you jog the machine during setup without energizing anything - handy when aligning thirteen mechanisms at once.

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-13 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A13F) Is Used
Textile machine jet bank
A winding machine with thirteen air-jet or thread-cut points groups all its 3/2 valves on one base, cutting plumbing and assembly time on the machine frame.
Carton erector clamps
The clamp section of a carton erecting machine uses spring-return cylinders - one 3/2 valve per clamp, thirteen in a row on this single manifold.
Lab automation block
Bench-top lab automation with thirteen pneumatic press or gripper positions keeps a compact footprint by sharing one 1/8in supply manifold.
Is the AirTAC 3V106A-13 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A13F) the Right Part?
For thirteen stations the port choice does the heavy lifting: 1/8in PT here, with G and NPT available to order on the 06 body. Flow is the open question - AirTAC publishes no Cv for 3V1, so confirm flow-critical duties with us or step up to 3V2 (1/8in and 1/4in, NC or NO selectable, Cv 0.18-0.19, vacuum rated) or 3V3 (1/4in, Cv 0.62); 3V2M is the pick when dense manifolding outweighs flow.
The 3V1 remains the smallest and lowest-power body of the family. Driving a double-acting cylinder? That needs a 5-port valve - see the AirTAC 4V range. Confirm port, thread, coil voltage, DIN plug vs flying lead and the station count before you order.
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-13 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A13F) FAQ
Pressure 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi); ambient and media temperature -20 to 70 C; IP65 to DIN 40050; thirteen stations on 1/8in PT threads. Coil consumption at AC220V is 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. AirTAC states no Cv for 3V1 - confirm flow-critical duties with us.
No. A 3/2 valve has three ports - supply, outlet, exhaust - and two states, so it feeds a single line or vents it. That drives single-acting spring-return cylinders, clamps, blow-off jets and pilot stages, but a double-acting cylinder needs two outlet lines and a 5-port valve such as the AirTAC 4V series.
