AirTAC 3V120-06 Solenoid Valve, 3V100 Series (3V12006AI)
The AirTAC AirTAC 3V120-06 Solenoid Valve, 3V100 Series (3V12006AI) is a genuine 3-port 2-position (3/2) solenoid valve with 1/8 in ports. A 3/2 valve either feeds its outlet or vents it to exhaust, so it suits single-acting cylinders, air blow, clamping, vacuum switching and pilot duty. We stock this code and confirm its published figures from the datasheet on request.

About the AirTAC 3V120-06 Solenoid Valve, 3V100 Series (3V12006AI)
The 3V120 is a 3-port, 2-position solenoid valve in the AirTAC 3V1x0 family. A valve of this class has three connections - supply, outlet and exhaust - and two states: energised it feeds air to the outlet, de-energised it vents the outlet to exhaust. This particular SKU is built around a 1/8 inch PT port and an AC220V coil, so it drops straight into a standard mains control panel without a transformer, and the I suffix means the coil arrives with a flying lead already attached rather than a DIN socket to be wired on site.
We stock this as a genuine AirTAC part and ship it as such. Across the same family you can order the other body sizes, both NC and NO behaviour, all five coil voltages, DIN or flying-lead entry, and 3V-F manifold bases for multi-valve installations. Any figure you would expect to find on a datasheet - pressure, flow, coil power and the rest - we do not publish on this page, but ask us and we will confirm it from the manufacturer documentation.

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 3V120-06 Solenoid Valve, 3V100 Series (3V12006AI) Is Used
Packaging machine clamp
Extends a small spring-return clamp cylinder that holds a carton flap while it is glued, and lets the spring pull it clear the moment the valve de-energises.
Blow-off after filling
Switches a jet of compressed air that clears dust and liquid residue from bottles or parts on a production line, giving a simple electrically-controlled on/off air signal.
Piloting a process valve
Sends the control-air signal that actuates a larger pneumatic or process valve on a skid, with the AC220V coil wired directly from the plant control panel.
Is the AirTAC 3V120-06 Solenoid Valve, 3V100 Series (3V12006AI) the Right Part?
Two of the choices on this SKU are made for you: the AC220V coil suits a panel fed directly from mains, and the flying lead suits installs where the electrician prefers a pre-wired tail to terminating a plug. If your panel is DC24V, AC110V, AC24V or DC12V instead, the same body can be ordered with that coil - the voltage cannot be changed by rewiring, so match it before ordering.
Choose NC if the outlet must be dead when power is lost, and NO if it must stay live. A 3/2 valve of this port drives single-acting spring-return cylinders, blow-off, clamping and pilot duties - it cannot stroke a double-acting cylinder, which needs a 5-port valve from the AirTAC 4V range. We hold no published flow figures for this family in hand, so ask us to check the valve against your actuator before you commit; if you need a 3-port valve with fully published data today, the AirTAC 3V2 and 3V3 bodies carry documented flow and coil-power figures.
Confirm before you order
- ✓ Port size and thread (PT from stock; G / NPT to order)
- ✓ Initial state — NC or NO, ordered up front
- ✓ 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 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 3V120-06 Solenoid Valve, 3V100 Series (3V12006AI) FAQ
We do not publish those numbers for this family. Send us an RFQ and we will read the figures you need - pressure range, flow, coil draw and more - straight from the AirTAC datasheet. If you would rather have published data visible before you buy, our 3V2 and 3V3 series 3-port valves are fully documented on their own pages.
Order NC when the outlet must vent to exhaust on power loss, NO when it must stay supplied - the choice is a fail-safe decision, not a performance one. Either version drives single-acting spring-return cylinders, blow nozzles and pilot ports. It will not stroke a double-acting cylinder, which requires two outlet lines and therefore a 5-port AirTAC 4V valve.
