The AirTAC Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106A4F-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.
The AirTAC 3V106A4F-AM is a four-station manifold assembly of 3V1 direct-acting 3/2 solenoid valves. Each 1/8in PT valve feeds or vents its own line, driving single-acting cylinders, clamps, air-blow duties or a pilot signal, while the valves integrated in series on one base save panel space.
The mains coil draws 4.5 VA at AC220V and the body carries an IP65 (DIN 40050) rating. Spring return is built into every valve, and a manual override helps during set-up and commissioning. The assembly comes in a single fixed initial state - confirm it on the datasheet.

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 cylinder on a machining fixture is fed by one valve and vented for release when the spring returns.
Directs shop air to a nozzle that clears chips from a CNC lathe workpiece between cuts, then vents the line.
Switches the pilot line that actuates a larger process valve on a water-treatment skid.
3V1 is the smallest, lowest-power body in the AirTAC 3V range and has no published Cv, so confirm flow-critical duties with us before ordering. Need more flow? Step 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); if a dense manifold matters more than flow, 3V2M is the manifold-first choice. To drive a double-acting cylinder you need a 5-port valve - go to the AirTAC 4V series.
Match five points before ordering: port (M5 or 1/8in), thread (PT is standard on this family; G and NPT are catalogue options to order), coil voltage, electrical entry (DIN plug or flying lead), and manifold station count from 1F to 20F.

Operating pressure is 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi), media temperature -20 to 70 C. Coil power by voltage: AC220V 4.5 VA, AC110V 4.5 VA, AC24V 5.0 VA, DC24V 3.0 W, DC12V 2.5 W. Protection is IP65 (DIN 40050) and air must be filtered through a 40 um or finer element. No Cv or effective-area figure is published for the 3V1 body - ask us for a flow check.
The 3V1 family integrates 1 to 20 stations in series on a shared base; this SKU is the 4-station version. Matching accessories are the 3V1-P30 connecting-screw base set, the 3V1-P31 O-ring and long screw set and the 3V1-P32 mounting-bracket set.
