AirTAC 3V106E-13 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106E13F)
The AirTAC AirTAC 3V106E-13 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106E13F) 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 3V106E-13 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106E13F)
Thirteen stations in one row - that is what 3V106E13F delivers. The assembly mounts thirteen direct-acting 3/2 valves, each with a 5.0 VA AC24V coil and spring return, on a common 1/8in PT manifold base, so a dense panel such as a multi-lane packaging machine gains thirteen valve functions from a single cut-out instead of thirteen individual bodies and plumbing runs.
Ports follow the PT standard for this family (G and NPT versions are catalogue options to order). Each solenoid is IP65 (DIN 40050), takes air filtered to 40 um or finer without lubrication, and carries a manual override to help during installation. Every station feeds or vents one line - a single-acting cylinder, a clamp, a blow-off jet or a pilot signal.

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 3V106E-13 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106E13F) Is Used
Tool-change drawer bank on a machining centre
Each of the thirteen drawers has its own lock cylinder fed by one station; spring return drops the lock whenever coil power fails, a safe default for unattended cutting.
Lane diverters on a parcel sorting conveyor
One station per lane pushes a single-acting diverter to route parcels between chutes; the shared manifold base keeps thirteen air connections off the machine frame.
Cooling-jet array on a plastic extruder
Thirteen blow stations aim filtered air at different zones of the extruded profile; each 5.0 VA AC24V coil switches independently and vents its line at shutdown.
Is the AirTAC 3V106E-13 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106E13F) the Right Part?
Because AirTAC publishes no Cv for 3V1, size by comparison: this is the smallest, lowest-power body in the 3V line, and any duty demanding more flow should move to 3V2 (Cv 0.18-0.19, NC or NO selectable, vacuum capable) or the 1/4in 3V3 (Cv 0.62). Where panel space, not flow, is the constraint, 3V2M is the denser manifold alternative. Your five checks for this SKU: 1/8in port; PT as the standard thread with G and NPT available to order; AC24V voltage; DIN plug electrical entry; and exactly thirteen stations as coded. If the actuator is a double-acting cylinder, it needs a 5-port AirTAC 4V valve - a 3/2 valve cannot switch it.
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 3V106E-13 Solenoid Valve, 3V1 Series (3V106E13F) FAQ
Thirteen 3/2-way direct-acting stations, single solenoid with spring return, on a 1/8in PT manifold base. Pressure 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi), temperature -20 to 70 C, protection IP65 (DIN 40050). Coil power by voltage option: AC220V 4.5 VA, AC110V 4.5 VA, AC24V 5.0 VA, DC24V 3.0 W, DC12V 2.5 W - here every station is AC24V at 5.0 VA. No Cv or effective area is published for 3V1, so verify demanding flows with our team.
Each of the thirteen coils draws 5.0 VA from a 24V AC control supply - about 65 VA for the full block - and connects through a DIN socket, so a coil is replaceable without cutting wires. Function is a straight feed-or-vent of one line per station: single-acting cylinders, clamps, blow jets or a pilot signal. A double-acting cylinder is beyond a 3/2 valve; use the AirTAC 4V series for that.
