The AirTAC AirTAC 3V106B-10 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106B10F) 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 3V106B10F is a factory-assembled block of ten 3V1 valves sharing one air supply and one mounting footprint. Each station is a 3/2, direct-acting, single-solenoid, spring-return valve in 1/8in PT, feeding or venting its own single line - feeding it while energised, venting it when the spring takes over.
Each station draws only 3.0 W on DC24V, keeping the cabinet power budget small, and IP65 sealing plus a manual override on every station simplify commissioning. Station counts run from 1F to 20F on this series, so the assembly can be re-ordered at a different count if your panel changes.

Figures follow the official AirTAC 3V1 catalogue. Confirm coil voltage and thread (PT / NPT / G) against the product label before wiring.
| 3V1 | Body — sets the flow, the coil power and whether vacuum is rated. |
|---|---|
| 1/8 in | Port size. M5, 06 = 1/8 in, 08 = 1/4 in, 10 = 3/8 in. |
| DC24V | Coil voltage. A = AC220V, B = DC24V, C = AC110V, E = AC24V, F = DC12V. |

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.
Ten spring-return clamps on an electronics assembly fixture controlled from one shared manifold instead of ten loose valves.
Feeding the pusher cylinders that separate trays one at a time on a bakery denesting station, vented by the spring between strokes.
Switching test air to ten sample ports on a small leak-test bench, each port isolated and vented independently.
Each station in a 10F assembly is sized exactly like an individual 3V1: smallest and lowest-power in the range, with no published Cv, so flow-critical outlets should be checked with us first. When a single port needs more air, move that duty to 3V2 (1/8in and 1/4in, Cv 0.18-0.19, NC/NO selectable, vacuum rated) or 3V3 (1/4in, Cv 0.62); 3V2M is the alternative when station density outranks flow. Double-acting cylinders belong on the AirTAC 4V series, not on any 3-port valve.
Confirm per station: port size, thread (PT here; G or NPT to order), the shared DC24V coil, DIN plug entry, and whether ten stations is the right count - 1F to 20F all exist.
Confirm before you order
Every station carries the same 3V1 figures: 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi) working pressure, -20 to 70 C temperature, IP65 protection, and a DC24V coil of 3.0 W (other voltages in the family: AC220V/AC110V at 4.5 VA, AC24V at 5.0 VA, DC12V at 2.5 W). AirTAC publishes no Cv for 3V1, so size any flow-sensitive outlet with us.
Yes - the series is built in 1F to 20F station counts, so ten is one point in that range. Supporting parts include the 3V1-P30 connecting-screw base set, the 3V1-P31 O-ring and long screw set, and the 3V1-P32 mounting bracket set.
