The AirTAC AirTAC 3V106E-10 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106E10F) 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.
Order code 3V106E10F is a 10-station manifold assembly: ten 3/2-way direct-acting valve bodies share one 1/8in PT base, cutting ten separate fittings and ten mounting holes down to a single block. Each body carries its own AC24V coil at 5.0 VA with spring return, feeding or venting ten independent single-acting circuits - small cylinders, blow jets, clamps or pilot lines - from one panel footprint.
Every coil meets IP65 (DIN 40050) and connects through a DIN socket, so a failed station swaps out quickly without disturbing its neighbours. The valves run on air filtered through a 40 um or finer element with no lubrication, and each station has a manual override for set-up and fault-finding.

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.
Ten stations each feed or vent one small single-acting pusher in a fixture that sorts PCB carriers lane by lane, all served from a single 1/8in PT manifold base.
Each carousel position gets its own 3/2 station to puff filtered air across a sample port between draws, with spring return guaranteeing the jet closes at power loss.
Solenoid stations flick single-acting diverter gates between lanes; a 5.0 VA coil per station keeps the 24V AC supply budget comfortable across all ten gates.
No Cv is published for the 3V1 body, so treat flow-critical sizing as a question to raise with us before you order. When a station needs more flow than this small body can be trusted with, step up to AirTAC 3V2 (1/8in or 1/4in, NC or NO selectable, Cv 0.18-0.19 and rated for vacuum) or 3V3 (1/4in, Cv 0.62); choose 3V2M instead when manifold density beats raw flow. Before ordering a 10-station block, confirm five things: 1/8in port, PT thread as standard (G or NPT are options to order), AC24V coil, DIN plug entry, and the exact station count. A double-acting cylinder is beyond what any 3-port valve can drive - send that duty to the 5-port AirTAC 4V series.
Confirm before you order
Ten 3/2 direct-acting, spring-return stations on one 1/8in PT base. Operating pressure 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi), temperature -20 to 70 C, IP65 (DIN 40050) coils. Coil ratings by voltage: AC220V 4.5 VA, AC110V 4.5 VA, AC24V 5.0 VA, DC24V 3.0 W, DC12V 2.5 W; this assembly uses AC24V, so budget for ten 5.0 VA coils. There is no published Cv for 3V1 - ask us about any flow-critical station.
The 3V1 family is manifolded in series from 1F to 20F, so 10F is one point in that range and a different count is ordered as its own SKU. Each station is an independent 3/2 valve that feeds or vents its own line, so it handles single-acting cylinders, blow duty and pilot signals, but never a double-acting cylinder; that calls for the 5-port AirTAC 4V series.
