Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106B5F-AM
The AirTAC Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106B5F-AM 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-AM
3V106B5F-AM is the -AM suffixed catalogue code for a 3V1 3/2 solenoid-valve assembly: five direct-acting, spring-return valves sharing one base, 1/8 PT ports, DC24V coils. Each valve is supplied in a single fixed initial state - confirm it on the datasheet. The -AM suffix marks a factory option on this code, so verify its exact scope against the datasheet or in your RFQ before ordering.
Wiring is the standout here: a 3.0 W DC24V coil lets one small 24 V supply carry the entire five-valve bank, and the DIN plug socket is protected to IP65 (DIN 40050), shrugging off dust and splash near washdown areas.

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-AM Is Used
Sample-dosing cylinders on a lab analyser
Compact spring-return dosing cylinders on an online water analyser are switched station by station, the 3.0 W coils keeping the 24 V rail inside the analyser enclosure.
Service-friendly wiring on a conveyor diverter
DIN plug sockets let a technician unplug one 3/2 valve for replacement without disturbing the other four stations on the diverter manifold.
Escapement feed on an assembly press
A single station pulses a spring-return escapement cylinder that releases one part per press stroke, with the manual override used for jam clearing.
Is the Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106B5F-AM the Right Part?
Because 3V1 publishes no Cv, treat flow-critical sizing as an RFQ item. When a single valve needs more throughput, move up to 3V2 (1/8 and 1/4, selectable NC or NO function, Cv 0.18-0.19, vacuum rated) or 3V3 (1/4, Cv 0.62); where a dense manifold beats flow, compare 3V2M. Double-acting cylinders belong with the 5-port AirTAC 4V series. Confirm these five points on your order: port (M5 or 1/8), thread (PT standard; G or NPT as an order option), coil voltage, DIN plug versus flying lead entry, and the number of manifold stations.
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-AM FAQ
Work with 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi) pressure, -20 to 70 C temperature and IP65 (DIN 40050) coil protection. The DC24V coil is rated 3.0 W; other 3V1 voltages are AC220V and AC110V at 4.5 VA, AC24V at 5.0 VA, DC12V at 2.5 W. Filter air to 40 um or finer; no lubrication is needed. Cv is not published for this body, so confirm flow with us for critical duties.
A 3.0 W 24 V coil runs cool, suits PLC outputs directly and keeps cabling light across a five-station base. The DIN plug unscrews for valve replacement without rewiring. If your panel prefers pre-wired leads, order the flying lead (I entry) variant instead. The -AM suffix on this code is a factory option - confirm its scope in your RFQ.
