Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106A1F
The AirTAC Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106A1F 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 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106A1F
The 3V106A1F is one 3/2 direct-acting solenoid valve mounted on a single-station manifold base. Functionally it behaves like an individual valve: one AC220V solenoid switches the outlet between supply and exhaust, and the spring return makes the vented position the resting state whenever the coil is off. The coil draws 4.5 VA at 220 V AC - one of the lightest electrical loads you will put on a machine panel.
Because it sits on the same base system as the multi-station 3V1 assemblies, you can standardise on one valve style today and extend to a shared manifold later, with 1/8in PT ports and a DIN plug coil connection at IP65 (DIN 40050). A manual override is fitted for commissioning. Air should be filtered to 40 um or finer; no lubricator is needed.

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 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106A1F Is Used
Bench-mounted air tool switching
On a maintenance bench, the valve routes shop air to a single fitting or vents it, with the manual override letting you actuate by hand before any wiring is done.
Kicker cylinder on a labelling head
Drive the short-stroke kicker that presses a label onto a passing pack; the spring return pulls the kicker back the instant the coil de-energises between packs.
Prototype pneumatic rigs
Because the valve sits on the standard 3V1 base, a prototype rig can start with one station and grow into a shared manifold once the design is proven.
Is the Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106A1F the Right Part?
Think of the 3V106A1F as the entry point of the 3V1 manifold system: one valve now, up to twenty stations on the same family later. Note that AirTAC publishes no Cv for 3V1, so for flow-critical ports confirm the duty with us first. Where a single station needs more flow, move up to 3V2 (1/8in and 1/4in, NC or NO selectable, Cv 0.18-0.19, rated for vacuum) or 3V3 (1/4in, Cv 0.62); 3V2M is the series to compare when packing many stations into a small panel is the priority. Driving a double-acting cylinder requires a 5-port valve - the AirTAC 4V series covers that.
Confirm five points before ordering: port (M5 or 1/8in), thread (PT standard on this family; G and NPT available as catalogue options), coil voltage, electrical entry (DIN plug or flying lead), and whether you want a single valve or a multi-station manifold.
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 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106A1F FAQ
Pressure range 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi); temperature -20 to 70 C; IP65 (DIN 40050) coil protection; supply air filtered to 40 um or finer with no lubrication needed. The AC220V coil is rated 4.5 VA, with the wider 3V1 line at AC110V 4.5 VA, AC24V 5.0 VA, DC24V 3.0 W and DC12V 2.5 W. AirTAC publishes no Cv or effective area for 3V1, so confirm flow-critical applications with us directly.
This code uses a DIN plug: the coil socket stays on the valve and you run a separate DIN connector cable to it, which keeps valve replacement simple. The same body is available with an I-suffix flying lead, where the wires leave the coil pre-wired - handy inside tight cabinets. Both entries meet IP65 (DIN 40050) and both keep the 4.5 VA AC220V coil, so the choice is purely about the wiring practice on your machine.
