Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106F8F
The AirTAC Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106F8F 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 3V106F8F
The AirTAC 3V106F8F packs eight direct-acting 3/2 valves onto a single 1/8in PT manifold - one air supply, one mounting, eight independent outlets. Each valve is single solenoid with spring return, so every output either pressurises its line or exhausts it: the two states a single-acting cylinder, blow jet or pilot stage ever needs.
Instead of a DIN socket, each station is pre-wired with flying leads that terminate wherever you choose in the cabinet. The DC12V coils draw only 2.5 W each - an advantage on battery- or low-voltage-fed panels - and the coil housings carry an IP65 (DIN 40050) rating for dusty environments.

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 3V106F8F Is Used
Sorter diverter bank
Eight divert fingers on a parcel sorter each get their own valve position, all fed from one manifold supply connection.
PCB cleaning station
Flying leads land directly on terminal blocks in a compact electrical cabinet, wiring eight air jets on a PCB cleaning station.
Vial blow-off before capping
On a vial filling line, eight air needles blow dust from vial mouths in sequence ahead of the capping head.
Is the Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106F8F the Right Part?
Because AirTAC publishes no flow coefficient for 3V1, treat this body as a low-flow, high-density choice and check any flow-sensitive duty with us first. More flow? Move to 3V2 (1/8in or 1/4in, NC or NO selectable, Cv 0.18-0.19, rated for vacuum) or 3V3 (1/4in, Cv 0.62). If manifold density outweighs flow, 3V2M is the specialist. For double-acting cylinders you need a 5-port valve - the AirTAC 4V series.
Confirm five points when ordering: 1/8in port in PT (G or NPT are catalogue options), the DC12V coil, flying-lead entry, eight stations versus fewer or individual valves, and the initial state - 3V1 is supplied in a single fixed initial state, so confirm it on the datasheet.
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 3V106F8F FAQ
0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi) working pressure, -20 to 70 C temperature, IP65 (DIN 40050) coil protection, 1/8in PT ports, manual override on every station. Coil ratings: AC220V 4.5 VA, AC110V 4.5 VA, AC24V 5.0 VA, DC24V 3.0 W, DC12V 2.5 W - the coil fitted here is the 2.5 W DC12V. Cv is not published for the 3V1 body; request confirmation for flow-critical duties.
AirTAC does not publish 3V106F8F dimensions - confirm them from the datasheet - but the principle holds: eight valves share one base and one supply connection, so you fit one manifold instead of eight separately plumbed bodies and their interconnecting fittings. Mounting hardware is available as catalogue accessories: 3V1-P30 (connecting-screw base set), 3V1-P31 (O-ring and long screws) and 3V1-P32 (mounting-bracket set).
