The AirTAC Airtac 3V100 Solenoid Valve 3V120M5FI 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.
Order 3V120M5FI and you get a genuine AirTAC 3/2 solenoid valve in the most compact wiring-and-plumbing combination of this family: an M5 port for the smallest lines and a DC12V coil on pre-wired flying leads, so there is no DIN socket to seat and no plug to buy. The valve itself gives the standard 3/2 action - supply and exhaust in, one outlet out; one state feeds the outlet, the other vents it - which is what a small spring-return cylinder or a pulsed air jet needs.
The code decodes as a 3V120 body, M5 port, DC12V coil, flying-lead entry and PT thread, the standard thread for this family with G and NPT as order options. Across the 3V1, 3V2 and 3V3 ranges the same 3/2 function is offered in NC and NO states, five coil voltages, both entries, and on 3V-F manifold bases. Because this page carries no performance data, we confirm pressure, flow and coil power from the datasheet whenever you ask.

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.
Drops into a compact test rig as the on/off element for a single small actuator circuit.
Fires a miniature marking cylinder that stamps a dot or batch code onto cartons at a packer.
Switches a small pneumatic clamp in an assembly cell wired back to a 12-volt control panel.
This is the version to pick when you already know the configuration and want the cleanest install: DC12V coil, flying-lead tails, M5 port, PT thread with G and NPT as catalogue options. Two things still need your input. First, state: the code shows no NC or NO marker, and the choice matters - NC leaves the outlet closed and vented until energised, NO leaves it fed until switched. Second, sizing: we publish no flow or pressure data for this family, so send the actuator details with your RFQ and we will verify fit before you order. If you require documented figures today, the AirTAC 3V2 (1/8in and 1/4in) and 3V3 (1/4in) bodies carry published flow and coil-power data; for a double-acting cylinder, move to the AirTAC 4V series. A multi-valve assembly can sit on a 3V-F manifold base instead of individual valves.
Confirm before you order
Right here on request: RFQ the part and we will send the confirmed pressure range, flow and coil power straight from the AirTAC datasheet. This page intentionally quotes no numbers. For an immediately documented alternative, the AirTAC 3V2 (1/8in and 1/4in) and 3V3 (1/4in) bodies have published flow and coil-power figures.
No. The coil is built for one supply voltage - DC12V here - and must be matched to the panel; a different voltage means ordering the corresponding code. Wiring style is a separate choice: this version is flying lead, and the same valve exists with a DIN plug. Filter the air supply before any solenoid valve.
