Airtac 3V100 Solenoid Valve 3V120M5-X0
The AirTAC Airtac 3V100 Solenoid Valve 3V120M5-X0 is a genuine 3-port 2-position (3/2) solenoid valve with M5 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 3V100 Solenoid Valve 3V120M5-X0
3V120M5-X0 names a genuine AirTAC 3/2 solenoid valve in its most compact port option: M5 thread. The function is fixed - three ports, two states, the valve either feeds its outlet or vents it - but this code carries no state, coil voltage or entry characters, so those details are settled when you order.
The rest of the 3V1 family is available both normally closed and normally open, with AC220V, DC24V, AC110V, AC24V and DC12V coils, DIN plug or flying lead, with larger 1/8in, 1/4in and 3/8in ports, and with 3V-F manifold bases. We keep no performance figures for this family on the page - send your requirement with an RFQ and the datasheet answers come back with the quote.

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 3V100 Solenoid Valve 3V120M5-X0 Is Used
Compact pneumatic sub-plate
Pilot or signal duty on a densely packed control plate where the M5 thread keeps the fitting footprint to a minimum.
Assembly bench fixture
Feed a small spring-return cylinder on a manual assembly jig; the small port keeps tubing and fittings slim on a crowded bench.
Jig blow-off
Turn an air jet on and off to clear chips or dust from a small electronics or watchmaking jig, with the outlet venting when the coil drops.
Is the Airtac 3V100 Solenoid Valve 3V120M5-X0 the Right Part?
This code settles the body and the M5 port but leaves state, coil voltage and electrical entry open, so those are the first things to specify. M5 is the smallest thread in the family and suits slim fittings and short tubing runs on compact jigs; 1/8in, 1/4in and 3/8in ports are there when the actuator grows. NC versus NO decides what the outlet does on power loss - vent or stay fed - and the coil must be ordered in the voltage your panel actually delivers. For machines running several 3/2 valves, a 3V-F base shares one air supply and one loom.
We cannot quote flow for this family from the page, so ask us to size it against your actuator from the datasheet; where published figures are needed today, the 3V2 and 3V3 bodies are documented, and the AirTAC 4V series covers 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 3V100 Solenoid Valve 3V120M5-X0 FAQ
The code fixes the body and the M5 port, but pressure range, flow, coil power and response time are not published here. Tell us the state, voltage and entry you want with the RFQ and we will return the datasheet figures with our quotation. The 3V2 and 3V3 bodies are the documented alternative if you need published flow and coil power now.
It cannot. With one outlet, a 3/2 valve feeds or vents a single-acting spring-return cylinder, a blow jet or a pilot line. Double-acting cylinders need two working ports, so specify a 5-port valve from the AirTAC 4V series instead.
