AirTAC 3V120-06 Solenoid Valve, 3V100 Series (3V12006BI)
The AirTAC AirTAC 3V120-06 Solenoid Valve, 3V100 Series (3V12006BI) 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 (3V12006BI)
Three ports, two positions: a 3/2 solenoid valve either feeds its outlet from the air supply or dumps the outlet to exhaust, and that is exactly the action needed behind a single-acting spring-return cylinder, an intermittent air jet, a clamp, or a pilot line to a larger valve. The 3V12006BI is the DC24V, flying-lead version on a 1/8in PT port - the wires arrive already attached to the coil, ready for direct termination.
AirTAC manufactures this valve, and the wider family gives you both initial states (NC and NO), five coil voltages including AC220V and AC110V, DIN plug entry if you prefer a socketed connection, and 3V-F manifold bases that share one air feed across several valves. Figures such as operating pressure and flow are not published here - put them on the RFQ and we will come back with the datasheet values.

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 (3V12006BI) Is Used
Laboratory test rig
A bench rig pulses air to a small single-acting actuator under test; a 24V DC flying-lead valve ties neatly into the rig's own low-voltage wiring.
Robot gripper actuation
A single-acting gripper closes on air and opens on its spring; this compact 3/2 valve switches the gripper line at the end of the arm.
Sanding bench blow-off
An operator taps a control and a jet of air clears dust from a workpiece at a sanding or polishing bench - simple on/off duty for a 3/2 valve.
Is the AirTAC 3V120-06 Solenoid Valve, 3V100 Series (3V12006BI) the Right Part?
Two electrical choices define this SKU: a DC24V coil, which must match a 24V DC panel because a coil cannot be rewired for another voltage, and flying-lead entry, which skips the separate DIN plug and suits tight spaces or direct gland wiring. If your wiring standard is socketed, the plain B code is the same valve with DIN plug entry.
The port is 06, which is 1/8in PT - the manufacturer's standard thread here, with G and NPT as orderable options. No initial state is coded, so tell us whether you need normally closed (vented until energised) or normally open (fed until energised). Sizing: we hold no published flow figures for this family, so ask us to confirm the valve against your actuator before ordering - and if you need a 3-port valve whose flow and coil power are already documented, the AirTAC 3V2 (1/8in and 1/4in) and 3V3 (1/4in) bodies are the ones to check. A double-acting cylinder is a job for the 5-port AirTAC 4V series, not this valve.
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 (3V12006BI) FAQ
Yes - the family includes 3V-F manifold bases in station counts from 1F to 20F. A base is a machined block that carries several valves on one shared air supply and one wiring run, which makes pipework tidier and fault-finding simpler; the valves themselves are ordered separately. Note that a base has no coil, so it carries no voltage or state of its own.
On request we will read the operating pressure range, flow and coil power for the 3V12006BI straight from the AirTAC datasheet - just send the RFQ. If published figures are needed before you can proceed, the AirTAC 3V2 and 3V3 bodies are the family members with documented flow and coil-power data.
