AirTAC 3V106A-17 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A17F)
The AirTAC AirTAC 3V106A-17 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A17F) 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-17 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A17F)
Seventeen 3V1 3/2 sections on one base make the 3V106A17F a compact alternative to wiring seventeen separate valves. Direct-acting and single-solenoid, each section feeds or vents its line and springs back when de-energised, so it drives single-acting cylinders, clamps, blow-off jets or pilots a larger valve.
This bank is built on AC220V coils at 4.5 VA per section with DIN plug entry and PT1/8 ports, the standard thread on the family. Coil protection is IP65 (DIN 40050), every valve carries a manual override, and the medium should be filtered to 40 um or finer with no lubrication required.

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-17 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A17F) Is Used
Conveyor stopper gates
Single-acting stopper cylinders that pause totes between conveyor zones, each fed and vented by its own 3/2 section so loads release cleanly on power loss.
Benchtop test rig actuation
Compact single-acting lift and clamp actuators on an automated test bench, driven section by section with manual overrides for debugging a cycle.
Textile machine thread cutters
Short-burst air pulses to cutter and kicker cylinders on a weaving line, switched at seventeen stations from one shared PT1/8 supply.
Is the AirTAC 3V106A-17 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A17F) the Right Part?
Check flow before choosing a seventeen-station 3V1 bank: AirTAC publishes no Cv for the 3V1, so confirm any flow-critical duty with us first. Where 1/8 or 1/4 ports need more capacity, the 3V2 (NC or NO selectable, Cv 0.18-0.19, vacuum rated) or the 1/4-port 3V3 (Cv 0.62) are the natural steps up; 3V2M wins when manifold density, not flow, is the priority.
Match five points to your project: M5 or 1/8 port, PT thread as standard (G and NPT exist as catalogue options to order), the AC220V coil, DIN plug versus flying-lead entry, and the station count - this SKU delivers seventeen of the 1 to 20 possible. Double-acting cylinders need the AirTAC 4V series, not this 3/2 body.
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-17 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A17F) FAQ
Start with the envelope: 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi) operating pressure, -20 to 70 C media temperature, IP65 (DIN 40050) coils, and 4.5 VA per AC220V section. The 3V1 coil table is AC220V 4.5 VA, AC110V 4.5 VA, AC24V 5.0 VA, DC24V 3.0 W, DC12V 2.5 W. The flow coefficient is not published for this body - send flow-critical duties to us for confirmation.
The 3V106A17F uses DIN plug sockets, so valves unclip from the manifold for service and wiring runs through plug connectors. The 3V1 family also offers an I-suffix flying-lead entry with pre-wired lead-out wires - pick that when the sockets are hard to reach. Either way the coil here is AC220V at 4.5 VA and rated IP65 with the plug fitted.
