The AirTAC Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V1M5F10F 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.
Ten complete 3V1 3/2 solenoid valves come factory-integrated on this manifold assembly, each with its own M5 port and its own DC12V DIN-plug coil drawing just 2.5 W. Every valve is direct acting with a single solenoid and spring return: it feeds one line or vents it, which suits single-acting cylinders, clamps, air blow and piloting larger valves. One common supply plus one wiring run keeps a ten-valve panel small.
Commissioning is helped by the manual override on each station. Air must be filtered through a 40 um or finer element, with no lubrication needed. Remember that 3V1 is supplied in a single fixed initial state - check the datasheet to confirm it.

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.
Ten valves on one manifold actuate the individual clamp pins of a printed-circuit-board handling fixture, each M5 outlet feeding its own small spring-return pin cylinder.
A row of M5 nozzles blows moisture off glass ampoules on a pharmaceutical filling line; each 3/2 valve opens one jet and vents the line when de-energised.
At 2.5 W per coil, the ten-station block pilots larger process valves on a low-voltage rig without straining its limited power supply.
This assembly sits at the bottom of AirTAC's 3V range for size and power, so check two directions before you buy. If M5 flow is marginal, move up to 3V2 (1/8" and 1/4" bodies, NC or NO selectable, Cv 0.18-0.19, also vacuum rated) or to 3V3 at 1/4" with Cv 0.62; pick 3V2M instead when manifold density outranks flow. Flow coefficient is not published for 3V1, so send flow-critical duties to us for confirmation.
Confirm five things when ordering: M5 or 1/8" port (thread codes G and NPT exist only on the 1/8" 06 version), coil voltage, DIN plug versus flying-lead entry, the number of manifold stations you need, and the fixed initial state of the valve. For a double-acting cylinder, specify the 5-port AirTAC 4V series instead.

Operating pressure 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi); media temperature -20 to 70 C; protection IP65 (DIN 40050). Coil power by voltage: AC220V 4.5 VA, AC110V 4.5 VA, AC24V 5.0 VA, DC24V 3.0 W, DC12V 2.5 W - this SKU uses the 2.5 W DC12V coil. Air must be filtered to 40 um or finer. No Cv or effective area is published for 3V1.
The 3V1 series accepts 1 to 20 stations in series; this code is the 10-station version, and other counts are available to order. Accessories such as the 3V1-P30 base set, 3V1-P31 O-ring and screw set and 3V1-P32 brackets support the assembly. Only the 1/8" 06 port version carries thread variants - the M5 port here is fixed.
