The AirTAC AirTAC 3V210-08 Solenoid Valve, 3V200 Series (3V21008NCAI) is a genuine 3-port 2-position (3/2) solenoid valve with 1/4 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.
This 3V21008NCAI is a normally closed 3/2 solenoid valve with a 1/4in PT port. Three ports and two states mean it either supplies the outlet or vents it, which is exactly the behaviour a spring-return cylinder or an on/off blow line needs. The I in the code marks flying-lead entry: the coil arrives with pre-wired leads instead of a DIN socket on top.
It is a genuine AirTAC part, one configuration among many: the family offers NC and NO, five coil voltages, DIN plug or flying leads, and manifold bases where several valves share one supply. Because this kit carries no published performance data, we will pull the pressure, flow and coil-power figures from the manufacturer datasheet when you enquire - just include the full model code in your RFQ.

|---|---|
| 1/4 in | Port size. M5, 06 = 1/8 in, 08 = 1/4 in, 10 = 3/8 in. |
| NC | Normally closed: no air at the outlet until the coil is energised. |

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 an existing machine has terminal strips but no DIN sockets, flying leads land the coil connection directly without altering the panel hardware.
Wire each station's valve coil back to a switching panel through its own leads, giving a bench builder independent control of several 1/4in air circuits.
Land the pre-wired leads straight onto the existing control pair at a welding jig's clamp station - no socket connector hardware to source first.
Start with wiring: the flying-lead entry here suits a build where the coil is wired directly back to terminals or a machine harness, with no DIN socket to seat. If you would rather plug in, the same valve exists with DIN entry. The state is NC - air off at the outlet until energised; NO versions exist where the line must stay live on power loss. The 1/4in PT port sits above M5 and 1/8in in the port ladder and suits a larger spring-return actuator; the AC220V coil must match a mains supply and cannot be changed later. On sizing we will not guess: request the datasheet figures with your order and we confirm them, or step to the documented AirTAC 3V2 or 3V3 bodies, which publish flow and coil power outright. For a double-acting cylinder, move to the AirTAC 4V series.
Confirm before you order
Pressure range, flow and coil power for the 3V21008NCAI - we retrieve them from the manufacturer datasheet as part of answering your RFQ. For a three-port valve whose figures are already published, compare the AirTAC 3V2 and 3V3 series before deciding.
Electrical entry only - the I suffix on this model means the coil is supplied with pre-wired flying leads to land on your terminals. The DIN plug option instead accepts a detachable socket connector. Function, port and state are unaffected; both entries are available across the family.
