Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106F2F
The AirTAC Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106F2F 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 3V106F2F
The AirTAC 3V106F2F pairs two 3/2 direct-acting valves on a single 1/8in PT manifold base. Each valve either feeds or vents one line, so it suits single-acting spring-return cylinders, air blow, clamps or piloting a larger valve. Spring return snaps the spool back the moment power is cut.
The DC12V coil draws just 2.5 W, which makes the pair easy to run from vehicle batteries, solar-charged supplies or small 12 V PSUs. A manual override on each station helps during set-up and commissioning, the DIN plug connection keeps wiring simple, and the coil housing is rated IP65 to DIN 40050.

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 3V106F2F Is Used
12V delivery-van tail-lift clamps
Battery-fed 12 V electrics in light commercial vehicles match the 2.5 W DC12V coils; each valve vents its spring-return clamp cylinder the moment the ignition cuts.
Bench-top sample purge station
Two valves on one base give a lab autosampler separate fill and purge lines, both switched from a low-power 12 V controller without a relay bank.
Workshop go/no-go test rig
A single-acting gauge cylinder on a fixture-check jig is fed and exhausted by one station while the second station blows chips off the part between cycles.
Is the Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106F2F the Right Part?
3V1 is the smallest, lowest-power body in the AirTAC 3V range, and it has no published Cv or effective-area figure, so confirm flow-critical duties with us before ordering. Need more flow? Step up to the 3V2 (1/8in and 1/4in, NC or NO selectable, Cv 0.18-0.19, vacuum rated) or the 3V3 (1/4in, Cv 0.62). Where manifold density matters more than flow, 3V2M is the purpose-built alternative. Before ordering this 3V106F2F, match five points: port (M5 or 1/8in), thread (PT is standard on this family; G and NPT are catalogue options to order), coil voltage, electrical entry (DIN plug or flying lead), and the station count. If your actuator is double-acting, you need the 5-port AirTAC 4V series instead.
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 3V106F2F FAQ
Operating pressure is 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi), media temperature -20 to 70 C, DC12V coil power 2.5 W, protection IP65 (DIN 40050), air filtered to 40 um or finer with no lubrication required. AirTAC publishes no Cv or effective-area figure for the 3V1 body, so treat flow as confirm-from-datasheet.
No. A 3/2 valve has three ports (supply, outlet, exhaust) and two states: it either pressurises the outlet or vents it. That pattern suits single-acting spring-return cylinders, blow-off, clamps and pilot duty. A double-acting cylinder needs pressure in both directions, which is the job of the 5-port AirTAC 4V series.
