The AirTAC Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106B9F 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.
Nine valves, one base, one supply: the 3V106B9F packs nine 3/2 positions on a shared 1/8in PT manifold for panels where every centimetre of rail counts. Every position is direct-acting with a single solenoid and a spring return, so losing coil power at any station leaves that line vented.
At 3.0 W per DC24V coil, nine stations still present a modest load to a 24 V supply, and IP65 (DIN 40050) construction protects the wiring in dusty plant air. The catalogue scales the same body from 1F to 20F, so the 9F build sits comfortably in the mid-range of the family.

Figures follow the official AirTAC 3V1 catalogue. Confirm coil voltage and thread (PT / NPT / G) against the product label before wiring.
| 3V1 | Body — sets the flow, the coil power and whether vacuum is rated. |
|---|---|
| 1/8 in | Port size. M5, 06 = 1/8 in, 08 = 1/4 in, 10 = 3/8 in. |
| DC24V | Coil voltage. A = AC220V, B = DC24V, C = AC110V, E = AC24V, F = DC12V. |

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.
Nine spring-return stopper cylinders along a parcel sorting conveyor each get their own 3/2 position, so parcels can be held or released lane by lane from one valve block.
Index pins on an automotive paint-line skid conveyor are raised and dropped by single-acting cylinders switched from the 9F manifold, one pin per valve position.
When a machine guard opens, a spring-return position vents the supply line to a single-acting door latch, dropping the latch state the moment coil power is removed.
Treat flow as unverified: the 3V1 has no published Cv, so send the application and let us size it. If nine 1/8in positions cannot pass enough air, the 3V2 lifts capacity at 1/8in and 1/4in with NC or NO selectable function, Cv 0.18-0.19 and a vacuum rating, and the 3V3 reaches 1/4in at Cv 0.62; for pure mounting density the 3V2M manifold body is the other candidate. Driving a double-acting cylinder? That takes a 5-port valve - the AirTAC 4V series.
Confirm five points at order time: M5 versus 1/8in port; thread (this family is built to PT as standard, with G and NPT available to order); coil voltage (DC24V, 3.0 W on this build); electrical entry (DIN plug here, the I suffix for flying leads); and station count - nine on the 9F, scaleable anywhere from 1F to 20F.
Confirm before you order
Nine 3/2 direct-acting, spring-return valve positions on a shared 1/8in PT base. Pressure 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi); temperature -20 to 70 C; protection IP65 (DIN 40050); coil power AC220V 4.5 VA, AC110V 4.5 VA, AC24V 5.0 VA, DC24V 3.0 W (this build), DC12V 2.5 W. Note that no Cv or effective-area figure exists for the 3V1 series in the catalogue.
The 3V1 platform is catalogued from 1F to 20F, so the same DC24V, 1/8in PT valve can be ordered as anything from a single unit to a 20-station base. Stations beyond nine keep the 3.0 W coil and IP65 sealing; just confirm panel space and supply-air capacity for the larger block.
