AirTAC 3V106A-20 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A20F-AM)
The AirTAC AirTAC 3V106A-20 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A20F-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-20 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A20F-AM)
Twenty stations is the full length of the 3V1 manifold system, and the 3V106A20F-AM delivers exactly that: twenty 3/2 direct-acting solenoid valves ganged on one supply gallery with 1/8in PT ports. Each station is single-solenoid with spring return, feeding its outlet line when energised and venting it through the exhaust port when de-energised. At 4.5 VA per AC220V coil, the complete bank of twenty gives you one simple figure to add to your panel load calculation.
All twenty coils terminate in DIN plugs and carry IP65 (DIN 40050) protection, while manual overrides on every station let you actuate outputs one by one during commissioning. Supply the gallery with air filtered to 40 um or finer - lubrication is not required. One AirTAC part number covers the entire assembly.

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-20 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A20F-AM) Is Used
Palletizer clamp banks
End-of-line palletizers use banks of single-acting clamps to hold layer sheets and boxes; twenty ganged stations keep all those clamps fed from one compact manifold.
Chemical dosing pilot panel
A dosing skid's pilot panel switches several process valves in sequence; one manifold supply lets you clean all the pilot air through a single 40 um filter element.
Machine guard interlock venting
Dedicated stations can vent the air that holds guard-locking devices, so cutting power through the safety circuit lets the spring return release the locks.
Is the AirTAC 3V106A-20 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A20F-AM) the Right Part?
Before committing twenty stations to 3V1, size the flow both ways: AirTAC publishes no Cv or effective area for this body, so treat it as a low-flow, minimum-power valve and check any flow-critical port with us. If individual stations need more air, the same range offers 3V2 (1/8in and 1/4in, NC or NO selectable, Cv 0.18-0.19, vacuum rated) and 3V3 (1/4in, Cv 0.62); if the goal is simply the densest possible manifold, compare 3V2M as well. Remember that a double-acting cylinder needs a 5-port valve, which is the AirTAC 4V series, not any 3V body.
Lock down five points when you order: port size (M5 or 1/8in), thread (PT is this family's standard; G and NPT are catalogue options), coil voltage, electrical entry (DIN plug or flying lead), and the station count - here fixed at 20.
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-20 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106A20F-AM) FAQ
Function: 3/2, direct-acting, single solenoid, spring return. Pressure 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi); temperature -20 to 70 C; protection IP65 (DIN 40050); air filtered to 40 um or finer, lubrication not required. Each of the twenty AC220V coils draws 4.5 VA (family ratings: AC110V 4.5 VA, AC24V 5.0 VA, DC24V 3.0 W, DC12V 2.5 W). No Cv or effective area is published for 3V1 - verify any flow-critical port with us.
Every station takes its own DIN plug, so you can run each coil to its own output or group them by machine zone; at 4.5 VA per coil the total load stays easy to calculate. For mounting and servicing, AirTAC offers the 3V1-P32 bracket set, the 3V1-P30 connecting-screw base set and the 3V1-P31 O-ring and long screw set. Manual overrides on all twenty valves let you step through outputs during commissioning without energising the whole panel.
