The AirTAC Airtac 3V2M Solenoid Valve 3V2MNCC-16F 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 3V2MNCC-16F is a sixteen-station manifold of NC 3/2 valves: direct-acting, spring-return poppet bodies on a dedicated base, AC110V DIN-plug coils, centralised exhaust, PT1/8 ports. With the coil off, every outlet vents; energising a station feeds its port until the spring returns the poppet.
Sixteen is the practical case for the manifold power budget: 7 VA per AC coil gives 112 VA if the whole bank is energised together, so size the control transformer for that figure. Coils are IP65; flow is Cv 0.1 per station through the base. NC is set at purchase and stays NC - no conversion, gasket reversal or retrofit changes it.

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. |

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.
Electronics test fixtures clamp with single-acting cylinders that release at coil-off, all switched from a 16-station NC manifold.
Conveyor diverter flippers kick parcels to reject lanes only when energised, so a power loss leaves every gate in the pass position.
Cooling air pulses onto die-cast parts from sixteen nozzles driven in groups, sharing one base, one supply and one wiring entry.
At sixteen stations, density is the point, and it costs flow: Cv 0.1 per valve versus Cv 0.18 (1/8 in) and 0.19 (1/4 in) for a standalone 3V2, which is also vacuum-rated, and Cv 0.62 for a 3V3 at 1/4 in, also vacuum-rated. Where duty is light, 3V1 at 3.0 W DC keeps coil heat down. If the actuator is a double-acting cylinder, you need five ports - the AirTAC 4V series. Pin down the five order points: NC initial state (fixed at purchase - no gasket flip or retrofit converts it), AC110V, DIN plug entry, 16 stations, centralised exhaust; PT thread is standard, with G and NPT as catalogue options.
Confirm before you order
Sixteen NC 3/2 direct-acting valves, Cv 0.1 each, pressure 0-0.8 MPa, temperature -20 to 70 C, AC110V coils at 7 VA (112 VA total worst case), IP65 protection, PT1/8 ports; G and NPT threads can be ordered.
No. The valve's initial state is set in the body, and flipping the dedicated base gasket does not convert NC to NO - AirTAC states this explicitly. Choose NC (vented until energised) or NO (passing until energised) at order time. Double-acting actuators are not covered by any 3-port valve; use the AirTAC 4V series.
