Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106FI3F
The AirTAC Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106FI3F 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 3V106FI3F
Three AirTAC 3V1 valves, one PT1/8 manifold: the 3V106FI3F is a 3-station assembly of 3/2-way, direct-acting, spring-return valves with 2.5 W DC12V coils and flying leads. Every station controls its own outlet - pressurise it or dump it to exhaust - covering three single-acting cylinders, three air jets, or a mix of clamps and pilot signals on one compact base.
Consolidating three valves onto a shared manifold cuts panel space, plumbing joints and potential leak points in a single move, and the same 3V1 base format extends from 1 up to 20 stations if the panel grows later. The manual override on each station lets you test every output individually during commissioning.

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 3V106FI3F Is Used
Bottling line cap chutes
Three stations gate cap delivery, seat the cap and blow the finished bottle clear, all run from one 12 V-controlled 3V1 manifold block.
Bench automation test rigs
Machine builders and training labs run three spring-return cylinders from a single 12 V bench supply, each 3V1 station triggered by its own controller output.
Guarded-cell clamp release
When an interlocked guard door cuts the 12 V supply, the spring return vents the clamp circuit of a small machine cell, releasing the actuator with no electrical signal at all.
Is the Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106FI3F the Right Part?
With three valves sharing one base, size each station's duty separately and remember the 3V1 body carries no published Cv - send us the flow-critical cases to check. Where a station demands more flow, the 3V2 series (1/8in and 1/4in, NC or NO selectable, Cv 0.18-0.19, vacuum rated) or the 3V3 (1/4in, Cv 0.62) steps up, and 3V2M serves when a dense manifold outweighs raw flow. For double-acting cylinders you need the 5-port AirTAC 4V family, not a 3/2 valve.
Confirm five choices before you buy: port size (1/8in here, M5 available), thread (PT is the standard on 3V1; G and NPT are ordered as options), coil voltage - fixed at DC12V, 2.5 W, on this code - electrical entry (flying lead here, DIN plug on other variants) and the station count you want the manifold built to, 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 3V106FI3F FAQ
Pressure 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi); temperature -20 to 70 C; protection IP65 (DIN 40050); three DC12V coils at 2.5 W each on this code (the 3V1 family also offers AC220V 4.5 VA, AC110V 4.5 VA, AC24V 5.0 VA and DC24V 3.0 W). AirTAC publishes no Cv and no effective area for the 3V1 body, so confirm flow needs with us.
Each station is an independent 3/2 valve that either pressurises its outlet or vents it to exhaust - good for single-acting cylinders, clamps, blow-off and pilot duty, but not for double-acting cylinders, which require a 5-port AirTAC 4V valve. The 3V1 is supplied in a single fixed initial state - confirm it on the datasheet during circuit design.
