Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106E4F
The AirTAC Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106E4F 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 3V106E4F
The AirTAC 3V106E4F is a 4-station manifold assembly of 3/2 direct-acting solenoid valves on a shared PT1/8 base. Each valve either feeds one outlet line or vents it, which makes the group ideal for controlling several single-acting (spring-return) cylinders, clamp points or blow jets from one compact panel location. Mounting four valves in series on a single base removes four separate bodies and their individual pipework from the panel.
Each coil on this assembly runs on AC24V at 5.0 VA and connects through a DIN plug socket, keeping wiring inside a standard 24V control cabinet simple. The direct-acting spool needs no minimum pressure to shift, a manual override is fitted for commissioning, and the coil construction is protected to IP65 (DIN 40050). Air must be filtered to 40 um or finer; lubrication is not required.

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 3V106E4F Is Used
Rotary indexing fixture clamping
On a rotary indexing table with four spring-return clamp pins, one 3V106E4F manifold feeds and vents each pin in sequence from a single PT1/8 air supply, replacing four loose valves with one bolted base.
Water-treatment skid pilot duty
A 24V PLC panel on a dosing-skid project can drive the AC24V coils at 5.0 VA each to switch pilot signals to larger process valves, with the DIN plug connections wired point-to-point inside the control cabinet.
Electronics bench blow-off station
At a PCB rework bench, four independent blow jets clear flux dust from boards after soldering; the direct-acting spools give an instant pulse at the operator station and the manual override helps set each jet up.
Is the Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106E4F the Right Part?
If your project needs four small valves mounted together, this 3V1 assembly is the lowest-power route in the AirTAC 3V range: each AC24V coil draws just 5.0 VA. Confirm before ordering that the flow is enough - the 3V1 has no published flow coefficient, so for flow-critical duties send us your line size and cycle rate and we will confirm suitability. When you need more flow, step up to the 3V2 family (1/8" and 1/4" ports, NC or NO selectable, Cv 0.18-0.19, vacuum rated) or the 3V3 (1/4" port, Cv 0.62); if manifold density matters more than flow, the 3V2M is built for that. If the actuator is a double-acting cylinder, you need a 5-port valve from the AirTAC 4V series instead.
Five points to match before you order: port (M5 or 1/8"), thread (PT is the standard thread on this family; G and NPT are catalogue options to order), coil voltage, electrical entry (DIN plug or flying lead), and the number of manifold stations (1 to 20). This code fixes all five: 1/8" port, PT thread, AC24V, DIN plug, four stations.
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 3V106E4F FAQ
It is a 3/2-way, direct-acting, single-solenoid valve with spring return, supplied as a 4-station manifold assembly with PT1/8 ports. Operating pressure is 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi), ambient and medium temperature is -20 to 70 C, and protection is IP65 (DIN 40050). Coil power by voltage: AC220V 4.5 VA, AC110V 4.5 VA, AC24V 5.0 VA (this SKU), DC24V 3.0 W, DC12V 2.5 W. No flow coefficient (Cv) is published for the 3V1 body - ask us to confirm flow for your duty.
Each valve on this 4-station assembly feeds or vents a single line, so it suits spring-return (single-acting) cylinders, clamp points, on/off air blow and pilot duty for larger valves. It cannot drive a double-acting cylinder - that needs two outlet lines and a 5-port valve, so specify the AirTAC 4V series for those actuators. Note the 3V1 is supplied in one fixed initial state; confirm it on the datasheet before wiring your safety logic.
