The AirTAC Airtac 3V2M Solenoid Valve 3V2MNCE-1F 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.
3V2MNCE-1F puts one normally closed 3/2 valve on a single-station 3V2M base, a neat way to start on the manifold platform without committing to a large block. The valve is direct-acting with spring return and a coaxial shut-off poppet; de-energised it vents the outlet, energised it passes air. The AC24V coil draws just 7 VA.
Because the valve already sits on the 3V2M system, adding control points later means ordering more valves and a larger base rather than redesigning the air preparation. PT1/8 ports, Cv 0.1, centralised exhaust, IP65 (DIN 40050), manual override fitted.

Figures follow the official AirTAC 3V2M catalogue. Confirm coil voltage and thread (PT / NPT / G) against the product label before wiring.

|---|---|
| 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. |

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.
A bench-mounted pneumatic punch gets one NC valve; the spring-return ram stays retracted and vented until the coil is energised.
A single NC station triggers a short air blast that cleans a part before quality inspection, venting the nozzle automatically when de-energised.
The 3/2 output pilots a diaphragm process valve in a water-treatment skid, passing pilot air only while the coil is energised.
If the whole job is one 3/2 output and flow matters, an individual 3V2 gives Cv 0.18 at 1/8 or Cv 0.19 at 1/4 - more than this manifold valve's Cv 0.1, because the base adds a restriction. 3V3 reaches Cv 0.62 at 1/4, and both are vacuum-rated; 3V1 suits small duties at 3.0 W DC. Pick the 3V2M when you expect to expand on one supply.
Order-time decisions: NC state (permanent - flipping the gasket will not convert it), AC24V coil, DIN plug entry, 1 station, centralised exhaust, PT thread standard (G and NPT to order). Double-acting cylinders belong on the AirTAC 4V series.
Confirm before you order
One NC 3/2 station with Cv 0.1, operating pressure 0-0.8 MPa, temperature -20 to 70 C, AC24V coil at 7 VA, IP65 (DIN 40050), PT1/8 ports.
It keeps you on the 3V2M platform: supply, mounting and wiring style stay identical when you later add stations. Note the state is permanent - an NC valve cannot be converted to NO in the field, so order the right state up front.
