The AirTAC Airtac 3V2M Solenoid Valve 3V2MNCA-6F 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.
Six NC 3/2 valves on one 3V2M base make the 3V2MNCA-6F a compact valve bank for mid-size machines: a single PT1/8 feed gallery, a single common exhaust, and six outlet ports that stay vented until energised. Each direct-acting, spring-return valve carries its own AC220V coil at 7 VA, a 42 VA worst case with all six on.
Fault-finding is where the shared design pays off - because supply and wiring are common, a dead station points straight to one coil or one plug rather than six separate installations. Flow per station is Cv 0.1 through the coaxial poppet seat, coil protection is IP65 (DIN 40050), and manual overrides are fitted for commissioning.

|---|---|
| 1/8 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.

A six-station bank is the right density when six spring-return actuators, blow jets or pilot lines share one air supply and you want them wired as one assembly. Keep in mind the manifold trade-off: Cv 0.1 per station versus the free-standing 3V2 at Cv 0.18 (1/8), so move demanding circuits to a 3V2, or to 3V3 at Cv 0.62 and 1/4 for the highest flow in the family; small DC duties are cheaper on 3V1 at 3.0 W. Double-acting cylinders are outside 3/2 territory - use the AirTAC 4V series.
Confirm five choices with your order: normally closed state, AC220V, DIN plug entry, 6 stations, centralised exhaust, and thread - PT as standard, G or NPT to order. The NC initial state is fixed for the life of the valve; the base gasket cannot be reversed to make it NO.
Confirm before you order
Design points: six NC 3/2 stations, Cv 0.1 each, 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi) supply pressure, -20 to 70 C ambient and medium, AC220V coils at 7 VA (42 VA if all six energise together; DC 3V2M coils are 7.0 W), IP65 (DIN 40050), PT1/8 ports with 40 um or finer air filtration.
With no D suffix, all six stations share one exhaust port on the base, which simplifies piping and allows a single silenced or piped-away exhaust line. If stations must vent to different points, order the 3V2MNCA-6FD version with independent exhaust. The NC state, like the exhaust pattern, is set at order time and cannot be converted later.
