The AirTAC Airtac 3V2M Solenoid Valve 3V2MNCE-15F 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-15F puts fifteen NC 3/2 direct-acting valves on a single dedicated base, each solenoid rated AC24V and plugged into its DIN socket. Inside every body a coaxial shut-off poppet opens on energise and the spring snaps it closed and vents the outlet on de-energise.
Centralised exhaust is the headline of this 15-station build: all outlets discharge through one common port, so machine designers capture and pipe a single exhaust line rather than fifteen. Add up the coil load for the panel schedule - 15 coils at 7 VA gives 105 VA - and remember the manual override on each body speeds first-article commissioning. The medium is air filtered to 40 um or finer; no lubrication is needed.

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. |
| 15F | 15 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.
Fifteen hold-down pads pressing carton flaps during glue set on a case packer map neatly to fifteen NC stations venting when stopped.
A plastics deburr cell with fifteen angled air jets can tune each jet's on-time per station while all exhaust collects at one muffler.
Air-jet loom sheds use compact solenoid panels; fifteen AC24V DIN-plug stations keep the low-voltage loom wiring uniform and quick to trace.
State, voltage, entry, station count and exhaust are all fixed at order time: this code means NC, AC24V, DIN plug, 15 stations, centralised exhaust. There is no post-purchase conversion - reversing the dedicated base gasket does not turn NC into NO, per the catalogue. Thread is PT as standard on 3V2M; G (BSPP) and NPT are options you specify when ordering.
Density costs flow: Cv 0.1 versus the individual 3V2's Cv 0.18 at 1/8 inch (0.19 at 1/4 inch, vacuum-rated) and the 3V3's Cv 0.62 at 1/4 inch (vacuum-rated). Where a channel drives nothing heavier than a small spring-return cylinder or a jet, stay on the manifold; for large loads go 3V2 or 3V3, and for the lightest duty try 3V1 at 3.0 W DC. Double-acting cylinders need the 5-port AirTAC 4V series.
Confirm before you order
15-station NC 3/2 assembly: Cv 0.1 flow coefficient, 0-0.8 MPa operating pressure, -20 to 70 C temperature range, 7 VA per AC24V coil (DC coils in this family draw 7.0 W), IP65 (DIN 40050), PT1/8 ports, PT base thread with G and NPT available to order, 40 um filtered air, no lubrication required.
Each 3/2 station has three ports (supply, outlet, exhaust) and two states: it either feeds the outlet or vents it. That suits single-acting spring-return cylinders, clamps, air blow and pilot duty. It cannot drive a double-acting cylinder - that takes a 5-port valve such as the AirTAC 4V series.
