Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106C1F
The AirTAC Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106C1F 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 3V106C1F
3V106C1F is the one-valve member of the 3V1 assembly range: a single 3/2 direct-acting, spring-return valve sitting on its own series base, the same mounting format AirTAC uses from 1F up to 20F. The AC110V coil needs just 4.5 VA and connects through a DIN plug. The valve is supplied in a single fixed initial state - confirm it on the datasheet.
In service it alternately feeds and vents one line - the pattern behind single-acting cylinder control, air blow, clamping and pilot duty. It runs on 0-0.8 MPa of air filtered to 40 um or finer (no lubrication required) between -20 and 70 C, is rated IP65 (DIN 40050), and its manual override makes setup and fault-finding simpler.

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 3V106C1F Is Used
Analytical sample pusher
Cycles the small spring-return pusher that advances sample trays inside a laboratory analyser, on a coil that draws only 4.5 VA.
Welding-jig hold-down
Holds a bracket in a welding jig while the operator tacks it, then releases automatically when the coil drops.
Guard-linked vent
Dumps the clamp line of a small press whenever its guard opens, with the spring return ensuring the line vents on power loss.
Is the Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106C1F the Right Part?
Even for a single valve, size deliberately: 3V1 publishes no Cv, so anything flow-sensitive should be checked against the datasheet or quoted to us. If the duty needs more, 3V2 (1/8 and 1/4, NC or NO selectable, Cv 0.18-0.19, vacuum rated) and 3V3 (1/4, Cv 0.62) step up the flow; 3V2M is there when manifold density, not flow, is the priority; and double-acting cylinders call for the 5-port AirTAC 4V series instead.
Confirm five items before you order: port (M5 or 1/8), thread (PT standard on this family; G or NPT to order), coil voltage, electrical entry (DIN plug or flying lead) and whether you want an individual valve or a numbered manifold station (1F-20F).
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 3V106C1F FAQ
Pressure range 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi); media temperature -20 to 70 C; protection IP65 (DIN 40050); coil power 4.5 VA on AC110V, with the family spanning AC220V 4.5 VA, AC24V 5.0 VA, DC24V 3.0 W and DC12V 2.5 W. AirTAC publishes no Cv or effective-area figure for 3V1 - request the datasheet for anything flow-sensitive.
AC110V matches the 110 V control circuits found in many machines and plants, and at 4.5 VA it is easy on the control transformer. The DIN plug lets the coil be unplugged without disturbing the wiring, which speeds swap-outs; if pre-wired leads suit the panel better, the same valve exists in a flying-lead entry to order.
