The AirTAC Airtac 3V2M Solenoid Valve 3V2MNCE-13F 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 3V2MNCE-13F is a ready-matched 13-station bank: thirteen NC 3/2 valve bodies seated on one dedicated 3V2M base, every coil wound for AC24V and terminated as a DIN plug. Each body is direct-acting with a single solenoid and spring return, built as a coaxial shut-off poppet so sealing stays positive across millions of cycles. Thirteen outlets stay vented until their coils are energised.
Running the bank at 24 V AC keeps the control circuit at a safety extra-low voltage, which suits machines where operators work close to live solenoid panels. Budget the transformer for the worst case: 13 coils at 7 VA each is 91 VA if every station energises together. A manual override on each body helps you prove out the fixture before wiring is final.

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. |
| AC24V | Coil voltage. A = AC220V, B = DC24V, C = AC110V, E = AC24V, F = DC12V. |
| — | Electrical entry: I = flying lead, otherwise a DIN plug. |
| 13F | 13 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.
Thirteen NC outlets suit a rotary indexing machine where workholding clamps on each dial position must vent the moment their station de-energises.
A parcel sorter with thirteen divert stations can drive one gate per slot from this bank, all fed and wired from a single supply run.
A quality lab bench switching thirteen test ports one at a time gains from shared wiring, with each NC port vented by default between tests.
Order the initial state deliberately: the dedicated base gasket on 3V2M does not convert NC to NO when flipped, and there is no field conversion of any kind - NC stays NC for life. Before buying, confirm five points: NC state, AC24V coil, DIN plug entry, 13 stations, centralised exhaust, plus thread (PT standard on this family; G and NPT are catalogue options to order).
Flow is the trade-off for density: Cv 0.1 through the base. If one station needs more air, run an individual 3V2 (Cv 0.18 at 1/8 inch, 0.19 at 1/4 inch, vacuum-rated) or a 3V3 (Cv 0.62, 1/4 inch, vacuum-rated); pick 3V1 at 3.0 W DC where duty is light and coil heat matters. These valves drive single-acting spring-return cylinders only - for a double-acting cylinder you need a 5-port 4V series valve.
Confirm before you order
It is a 13-station assembly of NC 3/2 valves: Cv 0.1 flow coefficient, operating pressure 0-0.8 MPa, media temperature -20 to 70 C, AC coils at 7 VA each (DC versions are 7.0 W), IP65 to DIN 40050, PT1/8 port on a PT-thread base (G and NPT to order), air filtered to 40 um or finer.
No. 3V2M uses a dedicated base gasket and flipping that gasket does not change the state; the manufacturer states the initial state is fixed at order time. If any station must pass air while de-energised, order that station as an NO valve in the same bank.
