AirTAC 3V106A-14 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A14F-AM)
The AirTAC AirTAC 3V106A-14 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A14F-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-14 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A14F-AM)
On the 3V106A14F-AM, fourteen 3V1 3/2 stations share a single 1/8in PT manifold supply, each valve a direct-acting, single-solenoid unit that snaps back by spring when de-energised. The AC220V coils draw only 4.5 VA apiece, so a fully loaded manifold stays easy on control power.
Each station either pressurises its outlet or exhausts it - the classic signal for single-acting cylinders, clamps, air-blast nozzles or a pilot line to a bigger valve. A manual override sits on every valve for setup, the air must pass a 40 um or finer filter, and the coil housing meets IP65 (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-14 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A14F-AM) Is Used
Pilot stage for a process valve
Switches pilot air to a large diaphragm process valve on a water-treatment skid, letting one 4.5 VA coil command a line size far beyond the 3V1's own 1/8in port.
Analyser sample-carousel lift
Raises and lowers a single-acting carousel cylinder in a laboratory analyser, venting the line so the spring seats the vial tray between cycles.
Grouped ejector pins on a panel
Runs a bank of small single-acting ejector or marker cylinders from one manifold, each pin sequenced by its own station inside a compact electrical cabinet.
Is the AirTAC 3V106A-14 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A14F-AM) the Right Part?
Order the 3V1 only after checking flow: AirTAC publishes no Cv for this body, so any flow-critical sizing must be confirmed with us. If a station needs more passage, move up to a 3V2 (1/8in or 1/4in ports, selectable NC or NO, Cv 0.18-0.19, and rated for vacuum) or a 3V3 (1/4in, Cv 0.62). Where a tight manifold beats high flow, the 3V2M is the purpose-built option. A double-acting cylinder cannot run on this 3-port valve - specify the AirTAC 4V series for that.
This code fixes four of the five decisions (1/8in PT ports, AC220V coil, DIN plug entry, 14 stations); still match the port family and station count to your panel layout, and remember G and NPT threads exist as order options. Ask us to confirm what the -AM option adds before you send the RFQ.
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-14 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A14F-AM) FAQ
Count on these: pressure range 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi); media temperature -20 to 70 C; coil 4.5 VA at AC220V; ingress protection IP65 (DIN 40050). There is no Cv or effective-area figure for 3V1 in the catalogue - ask us before sizing a flow-sensitive station.
The -AM suffix marks a variant of the standard 14-station assembly; the data above describes the base 3V1 valve and manifold. Ask our team to confirm exactly what the option includes before ordering, so the delivered assembly matches your panel design.
