Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106H-AM
The AirTAC Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106H-AM 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.
- Valve type3/2-way (3-port, 2-position)
- Port size1/8 in
- Electrical entryDIN plug (DIN socket type)
- Series3V1
About the Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106H-AM
The AirTAC 3V106H-AM is a 3/2-way, direct-acting solenoid valve on the compact 3V1 body with a 1/8 inch port. It either feeds or vents a single line, which makes it a match for single-acting (spring-return) cylinders, air blow-off, clamping and pilot duty. A single solenoid with spring return puts the valve back to its rest state whenever power is cut, and a manual override is fitted to help during installation and commissioning.
One point needs attention before you order: H-AM is not a standard 3V1 ordering suffix. The catalogue voltage codes run A (AC220V), B (DC24V), C (AC110V), E (AC24V) and F (DC12V), so the coil fitted to this exact code must be confirmed from the datasheet or by RFQ. The body itself is settled: 0-0.8 MPa operating pressure, IP65 coil protection, air filtered to 40 um or finer with no lubrication required, and PT as the standard thread on this family.

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 3V106H-AM Is Used
Clamp on a rotary indexing table
Feed and vent the spring-return clamp cylinder that locks a workpiece into a fixture on a small indexing table; the spring return gives a defined rest state on every power cut.
Chip blow-off on a benchtop CNC
Switch a short air jet that clears aluminum chips out of a milled pocket between cycles, using the manual override to aim the nozzle during setup without energizing the coil.
Pilot for a main process valve
Send a small pilot signal to a larger pneumatically actuated process valve on a water-treatment skid, where a light coil keeps the control panel load down.
Is the Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106H-AM the Right Part?
The 3V1 is the smallest and lowest-power body in AirTAC's 3V range, and it has no published Cv, so flow-critical sizing should be checked with us before ordering. When a duty needs more flow, step up to the 3V2 (1/8 and 1/4 inch, NC or NO selectable, Cv 0.18-0.19, rated for vacuum) or the 3V3 (1/4 inch, Cv 0.62). Where manifold density matters more than flow, the 3V2M is the better platform. If your actuator is double-acting, that needs a 5-port valve - the AirTAC 4V series.
Five points to confirm for any 3V1 order: port (M5 or 1/8 inch), thread (PT is standard; G and NPT are catalogue options to order), coil voltage, electrical entry (DIN plug or flying lead), and individual valve versus a 1 to 20 station manifold. On this SKU, verify the H-AM suffix itself before sending an RFQ, because it does not decode as a standard voltage or thread segment.
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 Wiring by qualified personnel, per AirTAC documentation.
Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106H-AM FAQ
Operating pressure 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi), media temperature -20 to 70 C, IP65 (DIN 40050) coil protection, and air filtered through a 40 um or finer element with no lubrication required. Coil power by catalogue voltage: AC220V 4.5 VA, AC110V 4.5 VA, AC24V 5.0 VA, DC24V 3.0 W, DC12V 2.5 W. No flow coefficient (Cv) is published for the 3V1, so confirm flow-critical duties with us.
A 3/2 valve feeds or vents one line, so it suits single-acting cylinders, air blow, clamping and pilot duty - it will not run a double-acting cylinder, which needs the 5-port AirTAC 4V series. The H-AM suffix is not a standard 3V1 voltage or thread segment (voltage codes are A, B, C, E, F), so the fitted coil and any port option must be confirmed from the datasheet before ordering.
