The AirTAC Airtac 3V2M Solenoid Valve 3V2MNCC-12F 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.
Twelve normally closed 3/2 poppet valves come pre-matched to a single base in the 3V2MNCC-12F. Each direct-acting, spring-return station opens its PT1/8 outlet only while the AC110V coil is on, and seals and vents the outlet whenever the coil is off.
Size the electrical side for the worst case: at 7 VA per AC coil, twelve stations energised together present 84 VA on the shared circuit - build in headroom above that. The common supply and common wiring also mean one faulty station is easy to spot against eleven healthy ones. Remember the state is ordered, not converted: the dedicated base gasket cannot be reversed to turn NC into NO.

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. |
| AC110V | Coil voltage. A = AC220V, B = DC24V, C = AC110V, E = AC24V, F = DC12V. |
| — | Electrical entry: I = flying lead, otherwise a DIN plug. |
| 12F | 12 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.
Sequence air jets on a weaving or knitting machine; one harness and one supply line serve all twelve solenoid positions.
Switch fill-and-vent air to each nest of a twelve-cavity leak-test fixture, venting every nest safely when coils drop out.
Drive small eject and clamp actuators in an electronic component handler where panel space is tight and the station count is fixed.
Pick 3V2M when density beats flow: Cv 0.1 per station through the base is fine for clamping, blow and pilot duty, but a station needing more should carry a single-body 3V2 (Cv 0.18 at 1/8 in, 0.19 at 1/4 in) or a 3V3 (Cv 0.62, 1/4 in, vacuum-rated). 3V1 is the low-power alternative at 3.0 W DC. A double-acting cylinder needs the 5-port AirTAC 4V, not this 3/2 valve.
Confirm five items: NC initial state (unchangeable after purchase), AC110V coil, DIN plug entry, twelve stations, and centralised exhaust. PT is the stock thread; G and NPT are made to order.

Twelve NC 3/2 stations, Cv 0.1 each, PT1/8 ports, 0-0.8 MPa pressure range, -20 to 70 C, IP65 (DIN 40050). AC coils draw 7 VA each (DC builds are 7.0 W), so a full bank energised together needs roughly 84 VA of AC supply.
Single-acting spring-return cylinders, clamps, air blow and pilot stages - anything needing one outlet fed or vented. They cannot run a double-acting cylinder, which requires two outlet ports; use the AirTAC 4V series for that.
