AirTAC 3V120-06 Solenoid Valve, 3V100 Series (3V12006B)
The AirTAC AirTAC 3V120-06 Solenoid Valve, 3V100 Series (3V12006B) 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 (3V12006B)
This listing is for the AirTAC 3V120, a three-port, two-position solenoid valve with a 1/8 inch PT port and a DC24V coil wired through a DIN plug connector. A 3/2 valve works on a simple principle: it has one supply port, one outlet and one exhaust, and the two positions either feed the outlet from supply or vent the outlet to exhaust. That makes it the right class of valve for single-acting spring-return cylinders, on/off air blow, clamping circuits and sending a pilot signal to a larger valve.
We hold this SKU as a genuine AirTAC part. Within the same family you can order either NC or NO behaviour, five coil voltages, DIN or flying-lead electrical entry, and 3V-F manifold bases that carry several valves on one shared supply. Pressure, flow and coil-power figures for this family are confirmed straight from the AirTAC datasheet - send us the RFQ and we will come back with the exact numbers.

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 (3V12006B) Is Used
Single-acting clamp on a machining fixture
A spring-return swing clamp or edge clamp needs air in one direction only, with the spring doing the return. A 3/2 valve feeds the clamp on command and vents it when released, which is exactly this function class.
Intermittent blow-off on a packaging line
Clearing dust or crumbs from trays and product surfaces between cycles is a plain on/off air job. A 3/2 valve on a filtered supply line gives the operator a clean start-stop for the blow nozzle.
Pilot stage for a larger air valve
Small control valves are often used to send an air signal to the pilot port of a bigger main valve. This 1/8in 3/2 body fits that role, letting a low-effort solenoid command a much larger flow circuit.
Is the AirTAC 3V120-06 Solenoid Valve, 3V100 Series (3V12006B) the Right Part?
Start with the port. The 1/8 inch thread on this 3V120 is the small end of the family range (M5, 1/8in, 1/4in, 3/8in), so it suits compact single-acting actuators and light blow tasks; step up a port size when the cylinder bore grows. Next, the coil: DC24V is fixed at order time and must match your panel supply - a 24V DC coil will not run correctly on 110V or 220V, and the voltage cannot be changed by rewiring, so order the variant that matches. Electrical entry is a DIN plug here, which plugs into a socket on the coil; if your build prefers pre-wired tails, the same body is offered with a flying lead (suffix I). For several valves on one machine, a 3V-F manifold base lets you share one air feed and one wiring loom, with valves ordered separately.
One honest note before you order: published flow figures for this family are not in our hands, so ask us to check sizing against your actuator before you commit. If you need a 3-port valve with fully published flow and coil-power data today, the AirTAC 3V2 (1/8in and 1/4in) and 3V3 (1/4in) bodies carry documented specifications. If your cylinder is double-acting, a 3/2 valve cannot drive it - you need a 5-port valve from the AirTAC 4V series.
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 (3V12006B) FAQ
We confirm those figures directly from the AirTAC datasheet rather than publishing numbers we cannot stand behind - send the RFQ and we will reply with the pressure range, flow and coil power for this exact SKU. If you need a 3-port valve with published figures in hand right now, the AirTAC 3V2 (1/8in and 1/4in) and 3V3 (1/4in) bodies are fully documented alternatives we also stock.
No. A 3/2 valve has one outlet, so it can only feed and vent a single-acting, spring-return cylinder. A double-acting cylinder needs air to both ports alternately, which takes a 5-port valve - for that need, look at the AirTAC 4V series and we will help you pick the right size.
