The AirTAC Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106FI4F 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.
The 3V106FI4F mounts four 3/2 direct-acting valve units on a single manifold base with 1/8in PT ports, so a four-point air circuit takes one supply gallery instead of a panel of individually plumbed valves. Each unit is a three-port, two-state device: it feeds its outlet line or vents it to exhaust, the pattern that drives single-acting spring-return cylinders, blow nozzles, clamps and pilot stages.
Every station carries its own DC12V coil drawing 2.5 W and a pre-wired flying lead instead of a DIN socket, so low-voltage wiring lands on the terminal strip directly. IP65 (DIN 40050) sealing, a manual override on each valve and spring return complete the package. Request a quotation for genuine AirTAC valves with your exact station count.

Figures follow the official AirTAC 3V1 catalogue. Confirm coil voltage and thread (PT / NPT / G) against the product label before wiring.
| 3V1 | Body — sets the flow, the coil power and whether vacuum is rated. |
|---|---|
| 1/8 in | Port size. M5, 06 = 1/8 in, 08 = 1/4 in, 10 = 3/8 in. |
| DC12V | Coil voltage. A = AC220V, B = DC24V, C = AC110V, E = AC24V, F = DC12V. |
| I | Electrical entry: I = flying lead, otherwise a DIN plug. |
| 4F | 4 stations in one assembly. |
| PT | Port thread. PT ships from stock; G and NPT are available to order. |
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.
Four spring-return clamp cylinders on a battery-powered AGV grip and release the load; each 12 V station draws only 2.5 W, so the traction battery is barely touched.
A lab sampling rig vents its small single-acting probe cylinders and purge lines through four valves that share one 1/8in PT manifold base.
An inspection cell fires short air pulses across glass lenses; the direct-acting 3/2 units feed or vent each nozzle and the spring return isolates the outlet whenever the coil drops out.
The 3V1 is the smallest, lowest-power body in AirTAC's 3V range and its flow coefficient is not published, so any flow-critical duty should be checked with us first. When four stations still do not give enough flow per line, step up to 3V2 (1/8in and 1/4in, NC or NO selectable, Cv 0.18-0.19, vacuum rated) or 3V3 (1/4in, Cv 0.62); if manifold density matters more than flow, 3V2M is the alternative worth comparing.
Before ordering, match five points: port (M5 or 1/8in), thread (PT is this family's standard; G and NPT are order options), coil voltage, electrical entry (DIN plug or flying lead), and individual valve versus manifold station count. Need to drive a double-acting cylinder? That requires a 5-port valve - go to the AirTAC 4V series.

Operating pressure 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi); media temperature -20 to 70 C; coil power AC220V 4.5 VA, AC110V 4.5 VA, AC24V 5.0 VA, DC24V 3.0 W, DC12V 2.5 W (this model uses the 2.5 W DC12V coil); protection IP65 to DIN 40050; air filtered to 40 um or finer, no lubrication required. No flow coefficient (Cv) is published for the 3V1 - confirm flow-critical sizing with us.
Each 3/2 station has three ports and two states: it either supplies the outlet or exhausts it. That suits single-acting spring-return cylinders, blow-off jets, clamping devices and pilot duty on larger valves. It cannot run a double-acting cylinder - that needs a 5-port valve such as the AirTAC 4V. A manual override on every station helps during setup.
