The AirTAC Airtac 3V2 Solenoid Valve 3V206NOC is a genuine 3-port 2-position (3/2) solenoid valve with 1/8 in ports. It either feeds its outlet or vents it to exhaust, which is what makes it the valve for single-acting cylinders, on/off air blow, clamping, vacuum switching and pilot duty.
The 3V206NOC carries an AC110V coil, aimed at control cabinets and machines wired for 110 V AC rather than the common 220 V supply. It is a normally open 3/2-way direct-acting valve with spring return: the outlet stays fed while de-energised, and switching the single solenoid closes the flow path and exhausts the line. Single-acting cylinders, clamps, blow nozzles and pilot stages are the intended loads.
A coaxial shut-off poppet handles the switching, sized at Cv 0.18 (3.2 mm2) per port on the PT1/8 body. The valve is IP65 (DIN 40050) and rated for vacuum duty from -102.2 kPa to 0.1 MPa.

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.
With a -102.2 kPa rating, the valve opens and closes the vacuum line that clamps sheet material to a CNC router bed.
The AC110V coil pilots a larger process valve, staying open at rest and closing when the controller energises the solenoid.
Normally open behaviour keeps filler nozzles supplied until the machine logic switches the valve to vent the line between fills.
If the flow demand is modest, a 3V1 saves power - 3.0 W on DC24V versus 7 VA here - while a 3V2M trades flow (Cv 0.1) for packing many stations onto one manifold base. When Cv 0.18 is not enough, jump straight to the 3V3: 1/4in, Cv 0.62 and still vacuum-rated, because the 1/4in step within the 3V2 family reaches only Cv 0.19.
Confirm five things when ordering: the 1/8in port and thread (PT is standard on this family; G and NPT are catalogue options), normally open initial state, AC110V coil, DIN plug entry, and any vacuum requirement. For a double-acting cylinder, move to the AirTAC 4V series instead.

Effective area and Cv per port are 3.2 mm2 and 0.18 for this 1/8in valve (1/4in 3V208: 3.4 mm2, Cv 0.19). Working pressure is 0-0.8 MPa, and the vacuum rating runs from -102.2 kPa to 0.1 MPa. Temperature limits are -20 to 70 C, the AC110V coil absorbs 7 VA (DC coils 7.0 W) and ingress protection is IP65 (DIN 40050).
Yes - unlike the 3V1 and 3V2M bodies, the 3V2 is rated for negative pressure from -102.2 kPa to 0.1 MPa, so it can interrupt vacuum service as well as compressed air. The source lists the rating only; vacuum flow and pump-down figures should be confirmed from the datasheet via RFQ.
