The AirTAC Airtac 3V2M Solenoid Valve 3V2MNCE-3F 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-3F groups three NC 3/2 solenoid valves on a single 3F base supplied with AC24V coils and DIN plug entry. Every valve is a direct-acting, spring-return poppet with coaxial shut-off, Cv 0.1 through the PT1/8 flow path, and a manual override for setup. The three stations take one common air feed and one common exhaust, so the machine plumbing shrinks from nine separate connections to three ports on one plate.
Shared supply and shared wiring are what buyers actually use this size for: one harness serves all three coils, a PLC output card sees a tidy load, and a stuck valve is traced in seconds by unplugging DIN connectors one at a time. The NC initial state vents every outlet while de-energised and is locked in at ordering - the dedicated base gasket cannot be reversed to change it. Coil power is 7 VA per station on this AC24V build.

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. |

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.
Three spring-return clamps on a press tool locate the blank in a fixed sequence; NC coils on one AC24V feed drop every clamp safely when the control signal is cut.
A loading dock gate uses two lock pins and one door prop cylinder, all single-acting, wired to the same 3-station base beside the dock controller.
An analytical autosampler routes carrier gas through three on/off poppet valves mounted side by side, each venting into the shared centralised exhaust.
This code fixes four choices for you - NC state, AC24V voltage, DIN plug entry and a 3-station centralised-exhaust base - leaving PT versus G or NPT thread as the only order option. If any single station must pass more air than Cv 0.1 allows, mount an individual 3V2 there instead (Cv 0.18 at 1/8, 0.19 at 1/4, and vacuum-rated) or a 3V3 at Cv 0.62 and 1/4 for the top of the 3V range. Where coil heat matters more than flow, the 3V1 idles at 3.0 W on DC. A double-acting cylinder cannot be run from any 3-port valve; use the AirTAC 4V series for that.
Confirm before you order
Each valve: 3/2 NC, direct acting, single solenoid with spring return, coaxial poppet, Cv 0.1, PT1/8 port, 0-0.8 MPa, -20 to 70 C, AC24V at 7 VA (DC coils 7.0 W), IP65 to DIN 40050, manual override. Base: 3 stations, centralised exhaust, PT thread.
Decide from the de-energised duty: this NC build holds every outlet vented until its coil is powered, which suits clamps and gates that must release on power loss. The state cannot be swapped after purchase - AirTAC states the dedicated base gasket does not convert NC to NO - so confirm it, plus voltage and entry, before ordering.
