Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106A5F-AM
The AirTAC Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106A5F-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 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106A5F-AM
Wiring is the story of the 3V106A5F-AM: each of its five 3V1 valves runs a 4.5 VA coil straight from AC220V mains, so no separate low-voltage power supply is needed on the machine. The block packs five 3/2 direct-acting valves into one 1/8in PT manifold, feeding or venting five independent lines from a single integrated assembly.
Coils meet IP65 (DIN 40050) against dust and water jets, and every valve carries a manual override to speed commissioning. Like all 3V1 valves it comes in one fixed initial state rather than an NC/NO choice - check the datasheet for the state before you build interlocks around it.

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 3V106A5F-AM Is Used
Bench press ram
Lifts and lowers the single-acting ram of a small pneumatic bench press used for staking and light forming.
Spray divert
Turns a single air line on and off to pulse the atomising nozzle of a coating rig between passes.
Guard lock
Controls a single-acting guard-locking cylinder on a machine safety door, venting the lock when power fails.
Is the Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106A5F-AM the Right Part?
Size this 5F block for low-power, small-port duties: AirTAC gives no Cv for the 3V1 body, so flow-critical applications deserve a quick check with us first. If a circuit needs more flow, move that function 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); when a tight manifold beats flow, compare 3V2M. A double-acting cylinder needs five ports, so route that requirement to the AirTAC 4V series.
Five decisions define your part number: port (M5 or 1/8in), thread (PT is the family standard, G and NPT are order options), coil voltage, electrical entry (DIN plug or flying lead), and individual valve versus a manifold of 1 to 20 stations.
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 3V106A5F-AM FAQ
A 4.5 VA AC220V coil draws little current and taps the mains directly, avoiding a separate 24 V supply. If your panel is low-voltage, AC110V is also 4.5 VA, AC24V is 5.0 VA, DC24V is 3.0 W and DC12V is 2.5 W. Pressure range is 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi), temperature -20 to 70 C, protection IP65 (DIN 40050), air filtration 40 um or finer, and no Cv is published for the 3V1 body.
Each 3/2 valve feeds or vents a single line, which suits single-acting cylinders, clamps, air-blow duties and piloting a larger valve. It cannot actuate a double-acting cylinder - that needs the 5-port AirTAC 4V series - and it has no published vacuum rating. The initial state is fixed and not NC/NO selectable, so confirm it on the datasheet.
