AirTAC 3V106A-15 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A15F-AM)
The AirTAC AirTAC 3V106A-15 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A15F-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-15 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A15F-AM)
Fifteen valves, one footprint: the 3V106A15F-AM mounts a full bank of 3V1 3/2 direct-acting valves on a common 1/8in PT manifold base, cutting the panel space fifteen separate bodies would need. Every valve is single-solenoid with spring return and a manual override; coils are AC220V at 4.5 VA each with IP65 (DIN 40050) protection.
The -AM suffix flags a variant of this assembly whose exact content is not covered here - confirm what it adds before ordering. In service, each station switches its own line between feed and exhaust, driving single-acting cylinders, clamps or blow duties; supply air should be filtered to 40 um or finer.

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-15 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A15F-AM) Is Used
Carton taping-seal jaw
Presses a spring-return sealing jaw onto the tape flap of each shipping carton, venting the line so the jaw lifts clear as the box advances.
Welding-fixture toggle clamps
Energises in sequence to close pneumatic toggle clamps around a bracket, then dumps all clamp lines simultaneously at cycle end for fast unloading.
Parts-feeder escapement
Releases one component at a time from a vibratory bowl by stroking a single-acting stopper pin, with spring return holding the gate shut when de-energised.
Is the AirTAC 3V106A-15 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A15F-AM) the Right Part?
Because AirTAC publishes no Cv for 3V1, sizing is done by duty rather than datasheet flow figures - ask us when flow is critical. This 15-station manifold serves many light pilot and single-acting loads from one air supply; if a line needs more capacity, the 3V2 (1/8in and 1/4in, NC or NO selectable, Cv 0.18-0.19, vacuum rated) or 3V3 (1/4in, Cv 0.62) is the step up, while the 3V2M wins when dense manifolding matters more than flow. For a double-acting cylinder, switch to the AirTAC 4V series.
Confirm before you buy: M5 or 1/8in port; PT as the standard thread on this family with G and NPT as catalogue options to order; the coil voltage; DIN plug or flying-lead entry; and the number of stations - fifteen on this assembly, from a possible 1F to 20F.
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-15 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A15F-AM) FAQ
Baseline figures: 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi) operating pressure, -20 to 70 C temperature range, 4.5 VA per AC220V coil, IP65 (DIN 40050) protection, and 15 stations on 1/8in PT ports. The catalogue carries no Cv for the 3V1 body, so confirm any flow-dependent choice with our team.
Each 3/2 station feeds or vents one line, which fits single-acting (spring-return) cylinders, on/off air blow, clamping and piloting a larger valve. It cannot drive a double-acting cylinder - that needs two working lines and a 5-port valve such as AirTAC's 4V series.
