Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106F3F
The AirTAC Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106F3F 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 3V106F3F
The 3V106F3F groups three 1/8in PT direct-acting 3/2 valves onto one shared base, so a single mounting footprint replaces three separate bodies and their individual plumbing. Every valve controls one line - feed it or vent it - which fits single-acting cylinders, clamps, blow-off or pilot service.
Each DC12V coil takes only 2.5 W, so three valves together stay comfortably within reach of a small switch-mode 12 V supply. Coils are protected to IP65 (DIN 40050), a manual override is fitted to every station for commissioning, and the DIN plug connection lets a pre-wired harness be lifted off during service.

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 3V106F3F Is Used
Rotary index-table dwell clamps
Three spring-return dwell cylinders around a rotary indexing table are each fed and vented by one station, holding parts only while the 12 V signal is present.
PCB blow-off before reflow
One station drives a narrow air nozzle that clears dust from populated boards, while a second pilots a hold-down and the third vents a single-acting ejector.
12V PLC cabinet pilot signals
A compact control cabinet uses the three valves as pilot stages that trigger larger process valves, all at 2.5 W per coil so the panel PSU barely notices.
Is the Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106F3F the Right Part?
Because the 3V106F3F puts three circuits on one base, check the five match points first: port (M5 or 1/8in), thread (PT is the family standard, with G and NPT as catalogue options to order), coil voltage, entry style (DIN plug or flying lead) and station count. AirTAC publishes no Cv for the 3V1 body, so if a duty is flow-critical, confirm it with us before ordering. When a single circuit needs more flow, move 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); if dense manifolding rather than flow is the goal, 3V2M is the dedicated choice. Double-acting actuators belong on the 5-port AirTAC 4V series, not here.
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 3V106F3F FAQ
Operating pressure 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi), media temperature -20 to 70 C, DC12V coil power 2.5 W per valve, protection IP65 (DIN 40050), air filtered to 40 um or finer, no lubrication needed. Note that AirTAC does not publish a Cv or effective area for the 3V1 body - confirm flow with us for critical duties.
The 3V106F3F coils run on 12 V DC at 2.5 W each, which suits battery-backed cabinets, mobile machines and low-voltage control panels. The DIN plug connection lets each coil be disconnected without disturbing the wiring, and the coil housing carries IP65 (DIN 40050) protection. Pressure range is 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi) with media from -20 to 70 C.
