The AirTAC AirTAC 3V220-08 Solenoid Valve, 3V200 Series (3V22008BI) 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.
The I at the end of 3V22008BI is the electrician's clue: this AirTAC 3/2 solenoid valve arrives with a flying lead - the coil's wires already brought out - instead of a separate DIN plug and socket. That suits machines where the coil sits inside an enclosure or junction box that gets wired once at build. Function is the family standard: three ports (supply, outlet, exhaust), two states, feeding or venting a single-acting load, on a 1/4 inch body with a DC24V coil and PT thread.
It is a genuine AirTAC part, coded exactly as shown. Around it, the 3V1, 3V2 and 3V3 families offer NC and NO states, AC220V, DC24V, AC110V, AC24V and DC12V coils, DIN plug or flying lead, and 3V-F manifold bases. Whatever the datasheet says - pressure, flow, coil power, response time - we will confirm it against your RFQ, so no decision rests on a guess.

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.
Energise to clamp the workpiece, drop the signal and the spring-return clamp opens for unloading.
A short air pulse from the valve knocks the finished part clear of the core.
The flying-lead coil lands directly in a sealed junction box during vehicle build, with no plug to buy.
Configuration first: 1/4 inch port for larger single-acting cylinders and blow lines, DC24V flying-lead coil, PT as the standard thread (G and NPT are order options). The state is not written into this code, so specify NC or NO to match what must happen on power loss. Two limits worth knowing before you buy: a 3/2 valve has a single outlet, so it cannot drive a double-acting cylinder - use a 5-port AirTAC 4V valve there - and we hold no published flow figures for this family, so have us check the valve against your actuator from the datasheet before ordering. Buyers who need flow and coil power in print today should look at the documented 3V2 and 3V3 bodies instead.
Confirm before you order
Pressure, flow (Cv), coil power, response time, temperature range and weight - all of it comes from the AirTAC datasheet, and we will read the values out to you on request through the RFQ form. Where you need published figures immediately, the documented AirTAC 3V2 and 3V3 bodies carry them.
A flying lead brings the coil wires out directly, ready to land in a junction box or enclosure at build time; a DIN plug needs a socket and connector but lets you unplug the coil without tools. Both entries exist across this family, so the choice is purely how your machine is wired. Remember too that the valve switches one outlet - single-acting loads only, never a double-acting cylinder, which needs the AirTAC 4V 5-port series.
