The AirTAC AirTAC 3V106A-19 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A19F-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.
On the 3V106A19F-AM, AirTAC mounts nineteen identical 3/2 direct-acting valves side by side on one shared manifold with 1/8in PT ports. Each station is a single-solenoid, spring-return valve: the solenoid switches the outlet between supply and exhaust, and the spring always returns it when the coil drops out. Every AC220V coil needs only 4.5 VA, so nineteen stations together still sit comfortably within the rating of a small control transformer.
Coils connect through a DIN plug at IP65 (DIN 40050), and each station has a manual override so you can jog individual outputs during setup. Feed the common supply with air filtered to 40 um or finer - lubrication is not required. One part number covers the entire genuine AirTAC assembly.

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.
A single-acting clamp on an electronics test fixture is pressed by the solenoid and released by the spring, so a control fault always leaves the board accessible.
Pilot the diverter gate cylinder on a parcel sorting conveyor; the spring return vents the line so the gate falls back to its default lane whenever power is lost.
Switch the small single-acting gripper on a machine-tending robot arm; the 3/2 exhaust port gives the gripper a defined vent path when the cycle is interrupted.
Sizing check: 3V1 publishes no Cv or effective-area figure, so treat it as a low-flow, low-power body and confirm flow-critical duties with us. If nineteen stations each need more air, the same range steps up to 3V2 (1/8in and 1/4in ports, NC or NO selectable, Cv 0.18-0.19, vacuum rated) or 3V3 (1/4in, Cv 0.62); for maximum station density rather than flow, 3V2M is the purpose-built dense manifold. A double-acting cylinder needs 5 ports, not 3 - that points you to the AirTAC 4V series.
Five things to fix before you order: port size (M5 or 1/8in), thread standard (PT as standard on this family, with G and NPT as catalogue options to order), coil voltage, electrical entry (DIN plug or flying lead), and how many stations the manifold carries.
Confirm before you order
The valve works from 0 to 0.8 MPa (0-114 psi) across -20 to 70 C. The AC220V coil takes 4.5 VA; across the 3V1 family the ratings are AC110V 4.5 VA, AC24V 5.0 VA, DC24V 3.0 W and DC12V 2.5 W, all protected to IP65 (DIN 40050). Filter the supply air to 40 um or finer. A Cv or effective-area value is not published for 3V1, so ask us before sizing a flow-limited circuit.
The 3V1 system integrates valves in series from 1F to 20F, so if future expansion might push you past twenty stations, split the duty across two manifolds and tell us at RFQ stage. Accessories such as the 3V1-P30 connecting-screw base set, the 3V1-P31 O-ring and long screw set and the 3V1-P32 mounting-bracket set support installation and maintenance of the bank.
