AirTAC 3V106B-12 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106B12F)
The AirTAC AirTAC 3V106B-12 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106B12F) 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 3V106B-12 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106B12F)
3V106B12F is a twelve-station manifold assembly of AirTAC 3V1 direct-acting 3/2 solenoid valves. Each station feeds or vents one line - supply, outlet and exhaust - so it suits single-acting cylinders, clamps, air-blow nozzles or pilot duty on a larger valve. A single solenoid with spring return settles every valve back to its rest position when power drops.
Each coil runs on DC24V and draws just 3.0 W, so the whole bank of twelve stays gentle on a small 24 V power supply. Ports are 1/8in PT, the standard thread on this family, and every valve carries a manual override to help commissioning. The valves come in one fixed initial state - confirm it on the datasheet before wiring your panel.

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 3V106B-12 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106B12F) Is Used
Fixture clamps on a CNC jig
Twelve single-acting clamp cylinders retract by their own springs and clamp on air; one valve station per clamp keeps the jig panel tidy.
Blow-off nozzles on a bottling line
Each station pulses a jet of dry air to clear droplets before labelling; 3.0 W coils suit high-density 24 V control cabinets.
Pilot stage on a water-treatment skid
Compact 3/2 stations switch pilot signals to larger process valves, with the manual override handy during start-up checks.
Is the AirTAC 3V106B-12 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106B12F) the Right Part?
Size in both directions before you commit. 3V1 is the smallest, lowest-power body in AirTAC's 3V range and publishes no Cv, so for flow-critical duties step up to 3V2 (1/8in and 1/4in, NC or NO selectable, Cv 0.18-0.19, and rated for vacuum) or 3V3 (1/4in, Cv 0.62). If a dense bank matters more than flow, 3V2M is the manifold specialist. Double-acting cylinders are outside 3-port territory - point those jobs at the AirTAC 4V series.
Confirm five points when ordering this code: 1/8in port with PT thread (G and NPT are order options), DC24V coil, DIN plug entry, and a 12-station manifold rather than an individual valve. Air needs 40 um filtration or finer; lubrication is not required.
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 3V106B-12 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106B12F) FAQ
Operating pressure is 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi), media temperature -20 to 70 C. Each DC24V coil draws 3.0 W; the 3V1 family also offers AC220V or AC110V at 4.5 VA, AC24V at 5.0 VA and DC12V at 2.5 W. Protection is IP65 (DIN 40050). No flow coefficient (Cv) or effective area is published for 3V1 - confirm any flow-critical duty with us.
Yes. Each station is its own 3/2 valve sharing a common air supply, so twelve single-acting cylinders, blow jets or pilot lines can be switched individually from 24 V controls. It cannot drive double-acting cylinders - that needs a 5-port valve such as AirTAC's 4V series.
