Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V1M5BI6F
The AirTAC Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V1M5BI6F 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 3V1M5BI6F
The AirTAC 3V1M5BI6F is a direct-acting, spring-return 3/2 solenoid valve on the M5 port, supplied as a 6-station manifold with pre-wired flying leads in place of the usual DIN socket. Each station feeds or vents one line, which makes the assembly a match for single-acting cylinders, on/off air blow, clamping and piloting a larger valve.
Because every DC24V coil draws only 3.0 W, all six stations can share a compact low-voltage supply - handy in battery-backed or densely wired equipment. The valve comes in a single fixed initial state; confirm it on the datasheet before wiring it into your circuit.

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 3V1M5BI6F Is Used
Benchtop clinical analyzer blow-off
Inside a compact diagnostic instrument, the M5 port and 3.0 W DC24V coils let the valve clear residual sample liquid from a probe path without burdening the instrument's low-voltage supply.
Small palletiser control panel
Six valves sharing one 6-station manifold drive single-acting grippers and ejectors on a light-duty palletising cell, cutting valve count and panel footprint in a tight cabinet.
Electronics test fixture wiring
Flying leads on each station route straight to a PLC I/O card or terminal strip, simplifying the harness inside a confined in-circuit test fixture where DIN connectors will not fit.
Is the Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V1M5BI6F the Right Part?
At M5 this is the smallest port in AirTAC's 3V family, and the 6F code turns six valves into one series manifold that saves panel space and cabling. Note that AirTAC publishes no Cv for the 3V1 body, so check flow-critical duties with us first: moving up to the 3V2 (1/8in and 1/4in, NC or NO selectable, Cv 0.18-0.19, rated for vacuum) or the 3V3 (1/4in, Cv 0.62) buys capacity, while the 3V2M is the pick where manifold density matters more than flow. A double-acting cylinder needs a 5-port AirTAC 4V valve instead. Before ordering, confirm five things: M5 versus 1/8in port, thread choice (PT is the standard thread on this family; G and NPT are catalogue options to order, and the M5 port carries no separate thread code), coil voltage, DIN plug versus flying-lead entry, and station count - six in this case.
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 3V1M5BI6F FAQ
Operating pressure spans 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi), medium temperature runs -20 to 70 C, the DC24V coil draws 3.0 W, and protection is IP65 (DIN 40050). Supply air must be filtered to 40 um or finer, and lubrication is not required. AirTAC publishes no Cv or effective area for the 3V1 body, so confirm any flow-critical duty with us before you specify.
Each 3/2 station either feeds its outlet or vents it to exhaust, so it suits single-acting spring-return cylinders, on/off blow, clamping and pilot duty on a larger valve. It cannot drive a double-acting cylinder - that requires a 5-port valve from the AirTAC 4V series. The flying-lead entry replaces the DIN plug with a pre-wired lead-out, and the 6F code joins six valves into one series manifold to save panel space.
