Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106B1F
The AirTAC Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106B1F 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 3V106B1F
One valve on a series base that can grow: the AirTAC 3V106B1F is a single-station 3V1 assembly. The valve itself is direct-acting, 3/2, with one solenoid and a spring return - it either pressurises its outlet or exhausts it, which is exactly what single-acting cylinders, clamps, air-blow jets and pilot stages need.
The DC24V coil draws only 3.0 W, one of the lowest power figures in the AirTAC solenoid range, and the housing is rated IP65 (DIN 40050). Ports are 1/8in with the PT thread that is the standard option on this family. Genuine AirTAC components, sold through authorised distribution.

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 3V106B1F Is Used
CNC fixture clamps
Switches a small single-acting clamp cylinder on a machining fixture, venting it the moment the cycle ends so the part releases without trapped pressure.
PCB blow-off nozzle
Gates a short burst of clean shop air across a printed circuit board after soldering, with the 3.0 W DC24V coil driven straight from the machine's 24 V logic supply.
Pilot for a process valve
Sends a pilot signal to a larger pneumatic process valve on a water treatment skid, letting a low-power DC24V output control a much bigger air actuator.
Is the Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106B1F the Right Part?
The 3V1 is the smallest and lowest-power body in the AirTAC 3V range, and AirTAC publishes no Cv for it, so treat flow as an open question and confirm any demanding duty with us. Need more air per valve? Step up 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); 3V2M is the pick when manifold density beats flow. Double-acting cylinders need the 5-port AirTAC 4V series, not a 3/2 valve.
Five points pin down your 3V106B1F order: port (M5 or 1/8in), thread (PT standard, G or NPT to order), coil voltage, electrical entry (DIN plug or flying lead), and single valve versus a 1F-20F station assembly.
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 3V106B1F FAQ
Operating pressure is 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi) and the medium temperature spans -20 to 70 C with clean air filtered through a 40 um or finer element. The DC24V coil absorbs 3.0 W and carries IP65 (DIN 40050) protection. The valve is direct-acting, 3/2, single solenoid with spring return. AirTAC publishes no Cv for the 3V1, so ask us before sizing a flow-critical circuit.
A 3/2 valve has three ports and two states: it either feeds the outlet or vents it to exhaust. That makes it right for single-acting spring-return cylinders, on/off air blow, clamping and piloting a larger valve - but never for a double-acting cylinder, which needs the 5-port AirTAC 4V series.
