AirTAC 3V106B-13 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106B13F)
The AirTAC AirTAC 3V106B-13 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106B13F) 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-13 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106B13F)
Thirteen valves, one base: the 3V106B13F mounts a row of AirTAC 3V1 direct-acting 3/2 units that share a single air supply and a single mounting footprint. Odd station counts like thirteen let you match a machine's exact I/O instead of paying for spare positions.
Each DC24V coil draws 3.0 W, so thirteen stations together sit near 39 W - easy work for a compact 24 V supply. Ports are 1/8in PT, coil protection is IP65 (DIN 40050), and a 40 um or finer filter is all the air preparation the valves ask for. Every valve holds one fixed initial state; confirm it on the datasheet.

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-13 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106B13F) Is Used
Pick-and-place ejectors on an SMD line
Each valve station puffs a short air pulse to release finished PCBs from their nest, switched straight from 24 V logic.
Carton kickers on a case packer
One station per kicker finger feeds or vents a single-acting cylinder, with springs returning the fingers between cartons.
Purge jets on a film extruder
Short purge pulses wipe melted residue off cutting blades; the manual override lets an operator test each jet by hand.
Is the AirTAC 3V106B-13 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106B13F) the Right Part?
Think of 3V1 as the low-power end of a ladder. Need more flow? 3V2 offers 1/8in and 1/4in bodies with NC or NO selectable function, Cv 0.18-0.19 and a vacuum rating, while 3V3 reaches Cv 0.62 at 1/4in. If packing valves tightly matters more than flow, 3V2M is purpose-built for it. For double-acting cylinders the answer is a 5-port valve - AirTAC's 4V series.
3V1 carries no published Cv, so verify flow-sensitive circuits with us first. On this code, confirm: 1/8in port in PT (G or NPT on request), DC24V coil at 3.0 W, DIN plug entry, and thirteen manifold stations rather than a single valve.
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-13 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106B13F) FAQ
Operating range 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi); ambient and media temperature -20 to 70 C; IP65 (DIN 40050) protection. DC24V coils use 3.0 W each; other family voltages are AC220V 4.5 VA, AC110V 4.5 VA, AC24V 5.0 VA and DC12V 2.5 W. No Cv or effective area is published for 3V1.
Thirteen 3/2 stations share one air inlet and one fixing operation, cutting panel drilling and plumbing versus thirteen loose valves. Each remains an independent circuit for single-acting cylinders, blow jets or pilot lines; double-acting work needs the AirTAC 4V series.
