Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106FI5F
The AirTAC Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106FI5F 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 3V106FI5F
The 3V106FI5F is built around AirTAC's 12 V DC coil, which draws just 2.5 W per station - low enough for battery-backed or vehicle-derived supplies on machines where a mains rail is unwanted. Five direct-acting 3/2 valve units share one manifold base with 1/8in PT ports.
Functionally, each station either pressurises its outlet or exhausts it, and the spring sets the state whenever the coil de-energises. Flying leads come out of each coil for direct hookup, the IP65 housing keeps dust and splash out, and a manual override lets you jog every station during commissioning - handy for proving each output before go-live.

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 3V106FI5F Is Used
Five-lane bottle reject gates
A juice filler kicks under-filled bottles off each lane; five 3/2 stations pulse single-acting ejector cylinders from one shared manifold base.
Welding fixture clamp bank
Five swing clamps on a bracket-welding fixture are held by spring force and released by 12 V coil pulses, with flying leads wired straight into the fixture junction box.
Skid pilot stages
On a compact water-treatment skid, the 3/2 stations pilot larger diaphragm process valves, switching each between feed and vent states on demand.
Is the Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106FI5F the Right Part?
Size the 3V106FI5F both ways. Upward: if any line needs more flow than this smallest 3V body can pass - no Cv is published for 3V1 - move to 3V2, which covers 1/8in and 1/4in with selectable NC or NO function, Cv 0.18-0.19 and a vacuum rating, or to the 1/4in 3V3 at Cv 0.62. On density: 3V2M packs valves even tighter when manifold space, not flow, is the constraint.
Confirm five things with us: M5 versus 1/8in port, PT (standard) or G/NPT thread, the coil voltage for your control circuit, DIN plug versus flying-lead entry, and whether this 5-station assembly or a different count is right. Double-acting actuators belong on the 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 3V106FI5F FAQ
Pressure range 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi); 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 (fitted here: DC12V at 2.5 W per station); IP65 to DIN 40050; medium is air filtered to 40 um or better, no lubrication needed. AirTAC publishes no Cv or effective-area figure for the 3V1, so treat flow-critical sizing as an item to confirm with us.
The I in 3V106FI5F means each coil is supplied pre-wired with a lead-out instead of a DIN socket, which suits low-voltage panels, battery supplies and vehicles where a 12 V rail already exists. At 2.5 W per station the draw is minimal. If your control system prefers 220 V or 24 V plug-in coils, ask us for the equivalent DIN-entry codes.
