The AirTAC Airtac 3V2M Solenoid Valve 3V2MNCE-6F 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.
Plan the control transformer around 42 VA: six NC valve coils at 7 VA each, all energised in the worst case, all drawing from one AC24V source through the island's shared wiring. The 3V2MNCE-6F pairs six normally closed 3/2 valve bodies with the 6F base, so one PT1/8 supply feeds the whole row and a single exhaust port serves it.
Each valve is direct-acting, single solenoid with spring return and coaxial poppet shut-off, Cv 0.1, IP65 (DIN 40050). With NC valves the six outlets are vented until energised, which suits circuits where a power cut must release or dump the downstream actuators. A manual override on each body cycles stations during set-up.

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

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.
Eject and clamp parts at six points of an automotive bracket cell, one coil per station on a single 24 V AC control feed.
Switch six weft or cleaning jets from one base, sharing supply and wiring across the machine frame.
Open and vent six sampling lines in sequence on pilot process rigs, vented-safe whenever control power fails.
Flow is the trade you accept for density: Cv 0.1 per valve through the base, against Cv 0.18 at 1/8 (0.19 at 1/4, vacuum-rated) for an individual 3V2 and Cv 0.62 at 1/4 (vacuum-rated) for a 3V3. Mix individual valves onto the same machine where a station needs more flow; 3V1 at 3.0 W DC covers points where the coil must stay cool. The NC state is built in and cannot be converted afterwards - no gasket flip, no field swap.
Before ordering, tick the list: NC initial state, AC24V coil, DIN plug entry, six stations, centralised exhaust, PT thread (G or NPT as an order option). If the target actuator is a double-acting cylinder, route the job to the AirTAC 4V 5-port series instead.
Confirm before you order
Each of the six AC24V coils is rated 7 VA, so size the control transformer for 42 VA if all stations can be energised at once. Other figures: Cv 0.1 per valve, pressure 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi), temperature -20 to 70 C, IP65 (DIN 40050), PT1/8 ports.
NC keeps each outlet vented until its coil is energised - the fail-safe default for clamp and dump circuits. The state is set by the valve body and its dedicated base gasket; flipping or reversing the gasket does not convert NC to NO, so the correct state must be ordered up front.
