Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V1M5A5F
The AirTAC Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V1M5A5F is a genuine 3-port 2-position (3/2) solenoid valve with M5 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 3V1M5A5F
The 3V1M5A5F packs five independently switched 3/2 circuits into the smallest body AirTAC makes. Every station is direct-acting with a spring return and a 4.5 VA AC220V coil plugged into its DIN socket, so a five-valve bank adds only 22.5 VA of load at full duty - small enough for compact control cabinets. Each valve handles the classic 3/2 jobs: feed a single-acting cylinder, pulse an air jet, clamp a part, or pilot a larger valve.
The five stations sit on one common M5 manifold base, which keeps the air inlet shared and the wiring footprint tight. Air must be filtered to 40 um or finer; no lubricator is needed. Genuine AirTAC product with full datasheet support from AirtacDistr.

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 3V1M5A5F Is Used
PCB test-rig hold-downs
Actuates five spring-return hold-down clamps on an in-circuit test fixture, one valve position per clamp.
Workshop chip blow-off
Fires short pulsed air blasts that clear swarf from a micro-milling fixture between cutting passes.
Delta-robot pick station
Feeds a single-acting gripper on a small pick-and-place robot, where the 4.5 VA coil keeps frequent switching cheap on power.
Is the Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V1M5A5F the Right Part?
Because AirTAC publishes no Cv for 3V1, treat flow as unknown until confirmed - send us the duty and we will check it, or step up to 3V2 (1/8in and 1/4in, Cv 0.18-0.19, NC or NO selectable, vacuum capable) or 3V3 (1/4in, Cv 0.62) when more air is needed. 3V2M suits builds where manifold density beats flow. This code is a five-station M5 manifold, AC220V, DIN plug entry.
Confirm five items when ordering: port size (M5 or 1/8in), thread on 1/8in variants (PT is standard; G and NPT are catalogue options), voltage, entry style (DIN socket or lead-out wire), and how many stations the manifold needs. A double-acting cylinder calls for the 5-port 4V series, not this 3/2 valve.
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 3V1M5A5F FAQ
Pressure 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi); temperature -20 to 70 C; AC220V coil 4.5 VA (elsewhere in the 3V1 range: 4.5 VA on AC110V, 5.0 VA on AC24V, 3.0 W on DC24V, 2.5 W on DC12V); IP65 protection to DIN 40050. There is no published Cv for 3V1, so flow must be checked case by case. Use clean air filtered to 40 um or better; no lubricator is required.
The A is the voltage code for AC220V, drawing 4.5 VA per coil; other codes are B (DC24V, 3.0 W), C (AC110V, 4.5 VA), E (AC24V, 5.0 VA) and F (DC12V, 2.5 W). This SKU uses DIN plug entry: the coil sits in a socket and connects through a plug connector, so wiring changes are straightforward. A flying-lead (I-code) version can be ordered if pre-wired leads suit your machine better.
