The AirTAC Airtac 3V100 Solenoid Valve 3V110M5NCFI-AM 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.
The 3V110M5NCFI-AM is a 3-port, 2-position (3/2) solenoid valve from the AirTAC 3V1 family, with an M5 port, a normally closed state, a DC12V coil and flying-lead entry. A 3/2 valve has three ports - supply, outlet and exhaust - and two states: it either feeds the outlet or vents it. Normally closed means no air reaches the outlet until the coil is energised, and the moment power is cut the outlet vents again, which is the fail-safe direction most clamp and blow-off circuits want. The M5 port is the smallest thread in this family, so it pairs with compact single-acting cylinders, fine blow jets and pilot lines to larger valves.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. Elsewhere in the 3V1 family you can order the normally open state, any of the five catalogue coils (AC220V, DC24V, AC110V, AC24V, DC12V), DIN plug or flying-lead entry, and 3V100M manifold bases from 1F to 20F stations. We hold no datasheet figures for this family ourselves, so name your circuit and we will read the pressure and flow numbers off the AirTAC datasheet and confirm them to you.

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.
Before capping, a short air jet clears dust and splash from bottle necks; the NC valve fires the jet only while energised and leaves the nozzle vented the rest of the cycle.
A spring-return clamp cylinder holds small aluminium brackets while they are drilled; energise the DC12V coil to clamp, cut power and the NC valve vents so the spring retracts the clamp.
The M5 outlet sends a pilot signal that shifts a larger main valve controlling workholding on a machining centre, with the 12V coil driven straight from the machine's low-voltage panel.
Decide the state first: NC is right when the outlet must go dead and vent on power loss, as in clamp and blow circuits. Then the port: M5 is the smallest step, and if your single-acting cylinder has a bigger bore, move up to the 06 (1/8 inch), 08 (1/4 inch) or 10 (3/8 inch) bodies in this family, since a larger port suits a larger actuator. The DC12V coil has to match a 12V control panel - coil voltage is fixed at order and cannot be changed by rewiring - and flying-lead entry means the coil arrives pre-wired with no DIN socket to buy. Where several valves sit together, a 3V100M manifold base runs them all from one air feed and one wiring loom, which makes fault-finding simpler. Published flow figures for this family are not in our hands, so send us your actuator details and we will confirm sizing before you order. If you need published flow and coil power today, the documented 3V2 (1/8 inch and 1/4 inch) and 3V3 (1/4 inch) bodies carry them. A double-acting cylinder needs a 5-port valve - the AirTAC 4V series - not any 3/2 valve.
Confirm before you order
None that we can stand behind on this page - our evidence stops at the configuration. Ask us by RFQ and we will confirm operating pressure, flow and coil power from the AirTAC datasheet. If you need published numbers before you enquire, the documented AirTAC 3V2 and 3V3 bodies have them.
NC gives you a defined off-state: outlet vented whenever the coil is unpowered, so a supply failure or an emergency stop leaves your clamp or blow jet safe. DC12V suits battery-powered or low-voltage PLC panels; just make sure the supply is a true 12V DC, because the coil cannot be rewired for another voltage.
