AirTAC 3V120-06 Solenoid Valve, 3V100 Series (3V12006F)
The AirTAC AirTAC 3V120-06 Solenoid Valve, 3V100 Series (3V12006F) 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 (3V12006F)
A 3/2 solenoid valve is a two-state air switch: supply to outlet, or outlet to exhaust. The 3V120 in this code sits normally closed, so the outlet receives no air until the DC12V coil is energised, and vents again the moment power drops. With 1/8in PT ports and a 12V coil it is aimed at panels and vehicles whose only supply is a low-voltage DC rail.
You are buying a genuine AirTAC part. Across the family you can order the normally open state instead, any of the five coil voltages from AC220V down to DC12V, flying-lead wiring in place of the DIN plug, and 3V-F manifold bases. Nothing on this page quotes performance - ask with an RFQ and we will confirm the datasheet figures for you.

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 (3V12006F) Is Used
Service-truck air controls
Switch a small single-acting cylinder or air signal on a truck-mounted service body, wired into the 12V vehicle supply and dropping to vent with the ignition off.
Battery-powered clamping rig
Control a spring-return clamp on a portable welding or bolting jig fed from a 12V battery; loss of power vents the clamp rather than leaving it held live.
12V bench test rig
Sequence a single-acting test cylinder on a low-voltage development bench where the panel offers only a 12V DC rail for solenoids.
Is the AirTAC 3V120-06 Solenoid Valve, 3V100 Series (3V12006F) the Right Part?
Because the coil here is DC12V, the first check is the supply: 12V DC must come from the panel, battery or vehicle rail, and a coil ordered in another voltage cannot be converted by rewiring. NC means the outlet dumps when power fails; NO does the opposite, so decide which behaviour your machine needs on power loss. The 1/8in PT port fits compact single-acting actuators, while M5, 1/4in and 3/8in cover the rest of the range. A 3V-F manifold base is the tidy answer once more than one or two of these valves share a machine.
Before you commit, let us check flow against your cylinder - the figures are not published on this page and we will read them from the datasheet. Need published numbers straight away? The 3V2 and 3V3 bodies carry them, and the AirTAC 4V series is the route for double-acting cylinders.
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 (3V12006F) FAQ
Yes - pressure, flow, coil power and temperature limits are read from the AirTAC datasheet once you send an RFQ with the code. For a 3-port valve where you want published flow and coil power immediately, look at the documented 3V2 (1/8in and 1/4in) and 3V3 (1/4in) bodies.
No. A 3/2 valve has only one outlet, so it suits single-acting spring-return cylinders, blow duty, clamps, vacuum generators and piloting. A double-acting cylinder needs pressurisation and venting at two ports, which calls for a 5-port valve such as the AirTAC 4V series.
