The AirTAC Airtac 3V2M Solenoid Valve 3V2MNCB-9F 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 3V2MNCB-9F is a complete nine-station valve bank: nine 3/2 normally closed DC24V bodies with DIN plug sockets, mounted on a shared manifold base. Each position is a direct-acting, single-solenoid, spring-return poppet valve with coaxial shut-off, feeding its outlet while energised and venting it through the common exhaust when de-energised. Port size is PT1/8 and each station holds Cv 0.1.
Because supply and wiring are shared across the base, one 24 V feed and one air line serve all nine circuits, which shortens fault-finding to a single row of stations. The DC coil draws 7.0 W, so a bank with all nine energised totals about 63 W - roughly 2.6 A at 24 V, size your power supply for that worst case. Note the initial state: the dedicated base gasket cannot be flipped to convert NC to NO, so the state you order is the state you get.

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. |
| DC24V | Coil voltage. A = AC220V, B = DC24V, C = AC110V, E = AC24V, F = DC12V. |
| — | Electrical entry: I = flying lead, otherwise a DIN plug. |
| 9F | 9 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.
Nine single-acting swing clamps on an automotive weld fixture run from one block; each NC station only clamps while its 24 V signal is live.
Spring-return hold-down pins on a PCB test nest cycle thousands of times per shift, with one shared supply feeding all nine positions.
Nine air-blow nozzles clear labels and dust on a bottling conveyor, each nozzle gated on and off by its own 3/2 station.
Match five points before ordering: initial state (NC here), coil voltage (DC24V), electrical entry (DIN plug), station count (9) and exhaust type (centralised, PT thread standard; G and NPT are order options). NC cannot be changed after purchase - the dedicated base gasket cannot be reversed to swap state, so order the state you need. At Cv 0.1 per station this manifold favours density over flow; step any high-flow circuit to an individual 3V2 (Cv 0.18 at 1/8 or 0.19 at 1/4, vacuum rated) or 3V3 (Cv 0.62 at 1/4), and keep 3V1 (3.0 W DC) for low-power duties. A double-acting cylinder needs a 5-port valve - see the AirTAC 4V series.
Confirm before you order
Cv 0.1 per station, operating pressure 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi), temperature -20 to 70 C, coil power 7.0 W per DC24V station (AC coils in this family are 7 VA), protection IP65 (DIN 40050), port PT1/8, medium air filtered to 40 um or finer.
No. 3V2M uses a dedicated base gasket, and reversing or flipping it does not change normally closed to normally open. The initial state must be ordered correctly up front; if any circuit needs NO, order those stations as NO valve bodies.
