Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106C5F
The AirTAC Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106C5F 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 3V106C5F
3V106C5F gathers five direct-acting 3/2 valves on one 1/8in PT base, so five separate feed-or-vent circuits share a single supply connection. Each valve is single-solenoid with spring return: energise to feed the outlet, de-energise and the spring vents it to exhaust.
The AC110V coils draw 4.5 VA each through DIN sockets, the assembly carries an IP65 (DIN 40050) rating, and it operates from -20 to 70 C. AirTAC builds this manifold system in 1 to 20 stations, so expanding the layout later is straightforward. Genuine AirTAC 3V1 assemblies come with datasheets on request.

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 3V106C5F Is Used
Semiconductor fixture clamps
Five independent clamp circuits on one base keep tubing runs short inside a dense semiconductor test fixture.
Bench riveter hold-down
A spring-return hold-down cylinder on a bench riveting press is fed during the stroke and vented by the spring on release.
Sorting chute diverter
Divert packages between two chutes on a pharmaceutical sorting line with one 3/2 valve per diverter position.
Is the Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106C5F the Right Part?
3V1 is the entry-level body of the 3V family: smallest ports, lowest coil draw. Its flow coefficient is not published, so any flow-critical application should be confirmed with us before you commit. For higher flow, 3V2 (Cv 0.18-0.19, NC/NO selectable, vacuum rated, 1/8in and 1/4in) or 3V3 (1/4in, Cv 0.62) are the natural steps up, while 3V2M wins when packing many valves into one manifold matters most.
Before ordering, fix five details: port size (M5 or 1/8in), thread (PT standard, G or NPT to order), coil voltage, electrical entry style, and valve count - here five stations on one base. Double-acting cylinders are outside a 3/2 valve's scope; specify the AirTAC 4V series for those.
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 3V106C5F FAQ
Pressure range 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi), medium temperature -20 to 70 C, 40 um or finer air filtration, IP65 (DIN 40050) protection. Each AC110V coil draws 4.5 VA (AC220V 4.5 VA, AC24V 5.0 VA, DC24V 3.0 W, DC12V 2.5 W). No Cv is published for 3V1 - confirm flow needs with us before ordering.
One base means one supply connection, fewer fittings and a much smaller panel footprint; AirTAC offers this manifold in 1 to 20 stations, so the bank can grow with the machine. Accessories 3V1-P30, 3V1-P31 and 3V1-P32 handle bases, seals and mounting brackets.
