The AirTAC Airtac 3V2M Solenoid Valve 3V2MNCAI-17F 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 3V2MNCAI-17F groups seventeen normally closed 3/2 valves onto one AirTAC 3V2M base, with every AC220V solenoid leaving the manifold on its own flying lead rather than a DIN socket. When a station faults, the shared-supply, shared-wiring architecture means one person can trace the whole manifold from a single point instead of hunting across seventeen scattered valves. Each valve is direct-acting, spring return and coaxial shut-off, venting its outlet whenever de-energised.
All seventeen stations draw from one inlet and discharge to one centralised exhaust, so ducting and silencing are handled in one place. The manual override on every valve is useful during commissioning: stations can be stepped through their strokes before any coil is wired. Expect Cv 0.1 per station, PT1/8 ports, IP65 (DIN 40050) protection, and an NC initial state that is ordered once and never convertible in the field.

Figures follow the official AirTAC 3V2M catalogue. Confirm coil voltage and thread (PT / NPT / G) against the product label before wiring.
| 3V2M | Body — sets the flow, the coil power and whether vacuum is rated. |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| AC220V | Coil voltage. A = AC220V, B = DC24V, C = AC110V, E = AC24V, F = DC12V. |
| I | Electrical entry: I = flying lead, otherwise a DIN plug. |
| 17F | 17 stations in one assembly, centralised exhaust. |
| PT | Port thread. PT ships from stock; G and NPT are available to order. |
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.
Seventeen NC stations release every weld fixture the moment power drops, and one shared exhaust collects the vented air away from the weld spatter zone.
Pneumatic hold-down pins along the board are switched station by station, all from one manifold wired through a single flying-lead trunk.
Each gate in the array takes one manifold station, so the control cabinet needs only one supply feed and one exhaust run for the entire bank.
Decide the five order points first: NC or NO (cannot be swapped after purchase), voltage, electrical entry, station count and exhaust type, plus thread - PT is the standard option on this family and G or NPT must be ordered in. The 17-station 3V2M format wins on density at Cv 0.1; where an individual duty demands more, use a standalone 3V2 (Cv 0.18 at 1/8, 0.19 at 1/4, vacuum rated) or a 3V3 (Cv 0.62 at 1/4, vacuum rated). For minimal electrical load on light duties, 3V1 needs only 3.0 W on DC. Double-acting cylinders require the 5-port AirTAC 4V series - no 3/2 valve can drive them.
Confirm before you order
Seventeen 3/2 NC stations, direct-acting with spring return, Cv 0.1 per station, operating pressure 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi), ambient and media temperature -20 to 70 C, AC220V coils at 7 VA each, IP65 (DIN 40050), PT1/8 ports, centralised exhaust, 40 um filtration or better and no lubrication required.
Centralised exhaust, as on this -17F assembly, sends all seventeen stations through one port: fewer pipes, one silencer, simpler ducting. Independent exhaust (the D suffix) gives each station its own port, useful when a single station must be silenced, captured or monitored separately. The choice is made at order; the exhaust routing is part of the base.
