AirTAC 3V106B-15 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106B15F)
The AirTAC AirTAC 3V106B-15 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106B15F) 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-15 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106B15F)
The AirTAC 3V106B15F is a fifteen-station manifold assembly of 3/2 direct-acting solenoid valves, each with a 1/8in PT port, a DC24V coil drawing just 3.0 W and a DIN plug entry. A 3/2 valve has three ports (supply, outlet, exhaust) and two states, so it either feeds a line or vents it - the classic job for a single-acting cylinder, an air blow nozzle, a clamp or a pilot signal to a larger valve. Spring return sends each valve back the moment its coil de-energises.
With IP65 protection to DIN 40050 and a manual override on every valve, commissioning and fault-finding on the panel are straightforward. Air must be filtered to 40 um or finer; lubrication is not required. AirTAC gives this family no published flow coefficient, so treat any flow-critical sizing as a point to confirm from 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-15 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106B15F) Is Used
Swing clamp on a welding fixture
Each DC24V station extends and vents a spring-return swing clamp that holds a car-body bracket during robotic MIG welding, releasing it the instant the coil drops.
Dust blow-off before capping
One valve fires a nozzle that blasts dust off a pharmaceutical bottle's neck just before the capping head descends, venting the line safely between bottles.
Pilot signal on a rinse skid
A single station pilots a larger main valve on a food-plant rinse skid, letting a low-power 3.0 W coil control a much bigger air or water flow.
Is the AirTAC 3V106B-15 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106B15F) the Right Part?
The 3V1 is the smallest, lowest-power body in AirTAC's 3V range, and the 15F code multiplies that economy fifteen times on one shared base. If a circuit needs more flow, step up to 3V2 (1/8in and 1/4in, NC or NO selectable, Cv 0.18-0.19, vacuum rated) or 3V3 (1/4in, Cv 0.62); where panel density matters more than flow, 3V2M is the dedicated manifold body. Before ordering, confirm five points: port (M5 or 1/8in), thread (PT standard, G or NPT to order), coil voltage, entry type (DIN plug or flying lead), and the number of stations. Because 3V1 carries no published Cv, size any flow-sensitive duty with us first. Need a double-acting cylinder moved? That takes a 5-port AirTAC 4V valve, not this 3/2.
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-15 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106B15F) FAQ
Operating pressure is 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi), media temperature is -20 to 70 C, and the DC24V coil draws 3.0 W (elsewhere in the family: AC220V and AC110V 4.5 VA, AC24V 5.0 VA, DC12V 2.5 W). Protection is IP65 to DIN 40050, air must pass a 40 um or finer filter, and no Cv or effective-area figure is published for 3V1.
A 3/2 valve feeds or vents one line, so it suits single-acting spring-return cylinders, clamps, blow-off nozzles and pilot duties. It cannot drive a double-acting cylinder - use the 5-port AirTAC 4V series for that. The initial state is a single fixed factory setting, so confirm it on the datasheet before wiring your safety logic.
