Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V1M5FI3F
The AirTAC Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V1M5FI3F 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 3V1M5FI3F
The 3V1M5FI3F groups three 3/2-way direct-acting valves on one shared base, each with its own M5 port and DC12V flying-lead coil. Every valve is single-solenoid with spring return: it either pressurises the outlet or exhausts it, the action needed for single-acting cylinders, clamps, short air-blast jets or pilot signals to larger valves. Spring return resets the valve on power loss without any minimum pressure, and no vacuum rating is published for this 3V1 body.
At three stations the block stays compact while cutting fitting count and plumbing labour on a dense panel. Coils draw 2.5 W each at DC12V and meet IP65 (DIN 40050), and the manual override on every position makes setup and fault-finding straightforward. AirtacDistr distributes factory-genuine AirTAC components with datasheets on request.

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 3V1M5FI3F Is Used
Pilot-signal block
Sends pilot signals to three larger process valves on a water-treatment skid, all switched from one compact 3-station base.
Test-jig clamps
Holds PCBs in a three-clamp electronics test jig, each clamp a single-acting cylinder vented safely by spring return when the coil drops out.
Textile air jets
Fires short blasts from three air jets that clear lint on a small textile machine, timed independently per station by the controller.
Is the Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V1M5FI3F the Right Part?
Size by flow first: the 3V1 body is the smallest in the AirTAC 3V range and no Cv figure is published for it, so confirm any flow-sensitive application with us. Need more air per port? Move up to 3V2 (1/8in and 1/4in sizes, NC or NO selectable, Cv 0.18-0.19, vacuum rated) or 3V3 (1/4in, Cv 0.62); if manifold density rather than flow drives the project, compare the 3V2M. For double-acting cylinder control the correct series is the 5-port AirTAC 4V.
Confirm five things on this SKU: the M5 port thread, which is fixed at M5 with no separate thread code (PT is the standard thread on the 1/8in 3V1 versions, with G and NPT available to order); the DC12V coil; the flying-lead electrical entry; and the 3-station manifold count versus a single 3V1M5FI valve. The operating medium is filtered air at 40 um or finer, with no lubrication required.
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 3V1M5FI3F FAQ
Pressure range 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi); temperature -20 to 70 C; coil power AC220V 4.5 VA, AC110V 4.5 VA, AC24V 5.0 VA, DC24V 3.0 W and DC12V 2.5 W, with each of this assembly's three coils taking 2.5 W at DC12V; protection class IP65 (DIN 40050). AirTAC publishes no Cv or effective area for 3V1, so request the datasheet before sizing critical flow.
The flying lead (entry code I) supplies the coil with pre-fitted lead-out wires, so no DIN socket or plug accessory is needed - useful where the control box sits close by or the wiring is hard-wired to terminals. Electrically the coil is unchanged at 2.5 W on DC12V. If you prefer a detachable DIN plug connector, order the same M5 valve without the I in the code.
