Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106FI2F
The AirTAC Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106FI2F 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 3V106FI2F
The 3V106FI2F is a ready-built two-station manifold of AirTAC 3V1 valves: two independent 3/2-way, direct-acting, spring-return bodies sharing one PT1/8 base, each with its own 2.5 W DC12V coil and flying-lead entry. Each station feeds or vents its own line, so you can clamp one circuit while the second blows off or pilots another.
Ganging valves in series is the 3V1 family's space trick: AirTAC assembles 1 to 20 stations on a common base, and two stations here replace two separate valves, two sets of fittings and the interconnecting pipework. With only 2.5 W per coil, even a modest 12 V supply carries both stations with room to spare.

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 3V106FI2F Is Used
Small indexing tables
Two stations on one manifold feed the clamp and the indexing cylinder of a compact rotary fixture from a single shared 12 V supply.
Packaging line reject gates
One station blows the rejected pack off the belt while its neighbour trips the diverter gate, both wired independently yet mounted as one unit.
Welding-jig swing clamps
Each manifold station fires a swing clamp on a robotic welding jig, holding the part only for the exact duration of the weld cycle.
Is the Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106FI2F the Right Part?
Two stations on one base change the sizing question: check the flow each station needs and treat the manifold as one unit. AirTAC publishes no Cv for the 3V1 body, so confirm flow-sensitive circuits with us before committing. If a station later needs more flow, a 3V2 (1/8in-1/4in, NC or NO selectable, Cv 0.18-0.19, vacuum rated) or a 3V3 (1/4in, Cv 0.62) replaces it, and 3V2M is the pick when manifold density beats raw flow. A double-acting cylinder calls for the 5-port AirTAC 4V series instead.
Pin down five things when ordering: port (this assembly is 1/8in; M5 exists in the range), thread - PT is standard here, G and NPT are order options - coil voltage (DC12V, 2.5 W per coil), entry style (flying lead on this code, DIN plug otherwise) and how many stations the manifold should be built to, anywhere from 1 to 20.
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 3V106FI2F FAQ
Each station is a 3/2 direct-acting, spring-return valve rated 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi) across -20 to 70 C, protected to IP65 (DIN 40050). Every DC12V coil draws 2.5 W, so a two-station base presents roughly a 5 W electrical load; family alternatives are AC220V and AC110V at 4.5 VA, AC24V at 5.0 VA and DC24V at 3.0 W. No Cv or effective area is published for 3V1.
The 3V1 manifold concept runs from 1 to 20 stations on a shared base, so a later machine revision can move to a longer assembly - order it as a new complete code such as 3V106FI4F or 3V106FI6F. Mounting and sealing accessories (3V1-P30 connecting-screw base set, 3V1-P31 O-rings and long screws, 3V1-P32 bracket set) support the installation.
