Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106FI8F
The AirTAC Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106FI8F 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 3V106FI8F
Eight controlled outlets from one manifold: the 3V106FI8F integrates eight 3/2 direct-acting valve units in series on a single 1/8in PT base, so a sequence with many small single-acting outputs stays compact and wired for a 12 V rail.
Each station runs a DC12V, 2.5 W coil with its own flying lead, sealed to IP65 (DIN 40050) and fitted with a manual override. The 3/2 function means every outlet is either fed from supply or exhausted - the correct pattern for spring-return cylinders, air jets, clamps and pilot lines, but not for double-acting actuators, which need a 5-port 4V valve. Send the RFQ and we will confirm the rest as genuine AirTAC supply.

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 3V106FI8F Is Used
Eight-position functional-test rig
A test panel routes 12 V air signals to one fixture output after another, all sequenced from a single eight-station manifold base.
Truck tipper latch release
A 12 V tipper body releases its spring-return latch pins through valve stations mounted beside the vehicle electrics, with flying leads landing directly on the chassis loom.
Carton flap hold-downs
A case-packing line presses eight carton flaps with small single-acting pads, each one vented safely by spring return the moment its coil drops out.
Is the Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106FI8F the Right Part?
The 3V1 carries no published flow coefficient, so size by duty: for compact, low-power switching of small loads it is the entry point of the 3V range; where a line needs more flow, step up to 3V2 (1/8in and 1/4in, Cv 0.18-0.19, selectable NC or NO, vacuum rated) or 3V3 (1/4in, Cv 0.62), and weigh 3V2M when manifold density rather than flow is the priority.
Lock down five parameters before ordering: M5 or 1/8in port; PT as the standard thread with G and NPT available to order; coil voltage; DIN plug or flying-lead wiring; and station count - eight in this assembly. Driving a double-acting cylinder instead? That is a job for the 5-port AirTAC 4V series.
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 3V106FI8F FAQ
Yes: 3/2 direct-acting spring-return function; operating pressure 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi); temperature -20 to 70 C; IP65 (DIN 40050); air filtered to 40 um or finer, lubrication not required; coil power AC220V 4.5 VA, AC110V 4.5 VA, AC24V 5.0 VA, DC24V 3.0 W, DC12V 2.5 W (this assembly: eight DC12V coils at 2.5 W each). Note that no Cv or effective area is published for the 3V1 - confirm flow-critical duties with us.
The 3V1 ordering code has no NC/NO position and there is no choice of initial state to order for this series. Each of the eight units is supplied in a single fixed initial state - confirm it on the datasheet before wiring, because the spring-return position defines the de-energised condition of every station on the manifold.
