The AirTAC Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106FI6F 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.
Six valves in the space of a row of fittings: the 3V106FI6F joins six 3/2 direct-acting units on one manifold base with 1/8in PT ports, cutting plumbing joints and the leak points that go with them.
The coil is 12 V DC at 2.5 W and terminates in a flying lead, so cabinet wiring is a simple two-core run per station. Operation is spring return: energise to switch the outlet, de-energise and the spring vents it. Rated 0-0.8 MPa and -20 to 70 C, sealed to IP65, with a manual override on every station for setup.

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. |
| 6F | 6 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.
Six air jets on a textile ribbon loom clear cut threads from the guides; the manifold's 1/8in PT ports tie into a single 12 V machine supply.
An electronics test cell pulses six nozzles across populated circuit-board trays; the IP65 coils shrug off the dusty air and each station is jogged via its manual override at setup.
A high-cycle press line ejects finished shims with spring-return kicker cylinders; six direct-acting stations on one base keep the cycle plumbing short.
Because AirTAC publishes no Cv for the 3V1, treat flow-critical applications with care and confirm them with us; this body exists for compact, low-power switching rather than high flow. When more flow per line is required, the natural steps up are 3V2 (1/8in and 1/4in, Cv 0.18-0.19, selectable NC or NO, vacuum rated) and 3V3 (1/4in, Cv 0.62), while 3V2M competes when dense manifolding outranks flow.
Five choices define your order: port size (M5 or 1/8in); thread - PT is the family default, with G and NPT available as catalogue options; coil voltage; DIN plug or flying-lead entry; and station count, which is six here. If the actuator is double-acting, the 5-port AirTAC 4V series is the correct route.

Full figure set: operating pressure 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi), temperature -20 to 70 C, protection IP65 (DIN 40050), air filtered to 40 um or finer without lubrication, and coil power AC220V 4.5 VA, AC110V 4.5 VA, AC24V 5.0 VA, DC24V 3.0 W, DC12V 2.5 W - this assembly uses the 2.5 W DC12V coil. There is no published Cv for the 3V1, so verify flow-dependent duties with us.
The 3V106FI6F mounts six valve units in series on one base, so instead of six separately plumbed valves you get a single supply gallery, one mounting operation and fewer joints to seal. Accessories support the build: 3V1-P30 base screw set, 3V1-P31 O-rings with long screws, and the 3V1-P32 bracket set. Station counts from 1F to 20F exist if six is not the right number.
