AirTAC 3V120-06 Solenoid Valve, 3V100 Series (3V12006E)
The AirTAC AirTAC 3V120-06 Solenoid Valve, 3V100 Series (3V12006E) 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 (3V12006E)
The 3V120 is a three-port, two-position (3/2) solenoid valve. Three ports - supply, outlet, exhaust - and two states mean it either feeds the outlet with air or vents the outlet to exhaust, nothing more. This code is normally closed with PT 1/8in ports and an AC24V coil, so with the coil dead the outlet is vented and stays vented until 24V AC reaches the solenoid.
It is a genuine AirTAC part. The 3V1 family also comes normally open, in AC220V, DC24V, AC110V and DC12V coils, with flying-lead as well as DIN-plug entry, and with 3V-F manifold bases for multi-valve installations. Pressure, flow and coil power for this family are not figures we publish - send the code with your RFQ and we will quote them from the datasheet.

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 (3V12006E) Is Used
CNC fixture clamp
Feed a small spring-return clamp cylinder on a machining fixture: energise to clamp the part, cut power and the NC valve vents so the spring releases it.
Blow-off on a bottling line
Switch a compressed-air nozzle that clears dust and droplets from bottles ahead of the labeller; de-energise and the nozzle vents instead of dribbling air.
Pilot for a larger process valve
Use the 3/2 output as the pilot signal that shifts a bigger air-piloted valve on a packaging machine, with the NC state killing the pilot on power loss.
Is the AirTAC 3V120-06 Solenoid Valve, 3V100 Series (3V12006E) the Right Part?
Start with the state: NC vents the outlet whenever power is lost, NO keeps feeding it, so match that behaviour to your fail-safe requirement. Next the port: 1/8in PT suits small single-acting cylinders and light blow duty, while M5, 1/4in and 3/8in cover smaller and larger jobs in the same family. The AC24V coil has to match the panel supply - coils are not rewirable to another voltage - and this version takes a DIN plug, with flying lead available as an option. Where several 3/2 valves sit side by side, a 3V-F manifold base shares one air feed and one wiring loom.
Sizing is worth a check before you order: flow figures for this family are not published here, so ask us to confirm them against your actuator. If you need a 3-port valve with documented flow and coil power today, see the 3V2 and 3V3 bodies; for a double-acting cylinder, see 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 (3V12006E) FAQ
We do not publish performance numbers for the 3V1 family on this page. Send an RFQ with the full code and we will confirm pressure range, flow, coil power and response time from the AirTAC datasheet. If you need documented figures in front of you today, the 3V2 and 3V3 bodies in our catalogue have published flow and coil-power data.
Choose NC if the outlet must dump and go dead when power is lost - the usual fail-safe for clamps. Choose NO if the outlet must stay fed through a power cut, for example a vent that has to keep blowing. Both states exist across the 3V1 family, so the choice is made in the order code.
