Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106B5F
The AirTAC Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106B5F 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 3V106B5F
The AirTAC 3V106B5F is a five-valve manifold assembly of 3/2 solenoid valves with 1/8 PT ports. Each valve is direct-acting, single solenoid with spring return, so it either feeds its outlet line or vents it to exhaust - the job profile of single-acting cylinders, blow-off nozzles, clamps or a pilot signal to a larger valve. Every valve is supplied in a single fixed initial state - confirm it on the datasheet before wiring.
Each DC24V coil draws just 3.0 W, so one compact switch-mode supply can run the whole bank, and the DIN plug connection is sealed to IP65 (DIN 40050). Supply air filtered to 40 um or finer; no lubrication is needed.

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 3V106B5F Is Used
Single-acting clamps on a welding fixture
The 5-station 3V1 bank feeds and vents spring-return swing clamps around a weld cell, one valve per fixture station, with the manual override used during setup.
Blow-off nozzle on a bottling line
One station of the manifold drives pulsed air blow to dry bottle necks before labelling, the spring return cutting the air the instant the coil de-energises.
Pilot stage on a water-treatment skid
Each 3/2 valve sends a pilot signal to a larger diaphragm process valve, the 3.0 W DC24V coil letting a PLC output switch it directly.
Is the Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106B5F the Right Part?
3V1 is the smallest, lowest-power body in the AirTAC 3V range, and no Cv is published for it - if your duty is flow-critical, confirm sizing with us first. Need more flow? Step up to 3V2 (1/8 and 1/4, NC or NO selectable, Cv 0.18-0.19, vacuum rated) or 3V3 (1/4, Cv 0.62); if manifold density matters more than flow, 3V2M is the purpose-built choice. A double-acting cylinder needs a 5-port valve - send that requirement to the AirTAC 4V series. Before ordering, match five points: port (M5 or 1/8), thread (PT is the standard on this family; G or NPT are order options), coil voltage, electrical entry (DIN plug or flying lead), and individual valve versus manifold station count.
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 3V106B5F FAQ
Operating pressure is 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi) and media temperature spans -20 to 70 C. Each DC24V coil draws 3.0 W; the 3V1 family also runs AC220V and AC110V at 4.5 VA, AC24V at 5.0 VA and DC12V at 2.5 W. DIN plug connections are IP65 (DIN 40050), air must be filtered to 40 um or finer, and lubrication is not required. No flow coefficient (Cv) or effective area is published for 3V1 - ask us to confirm flow suitability.
Each 3/2 station has three ports - supply, outlet, exhaust - and two states, so it feeds or vents one line. That suits single-acting cylinders, air blow, clamping and pilot duty. It will not drive a double-acting cylinder; use the AirTAC 4V series for that. Between 1 and 20 stations can share a common base on this family.
