The AirTAC Airtac 3V2M Solenoid Valve 3V2MNCEI 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.
3V2MNCEI is the 3V2M valve body on its own: a 3-port 2-position, normally closed, direct-acting poppet valve with an AC24V coil and a pre-wired flying lead in place of a DIN socket. In the rest position the outlet is vented; energise the coil and the valve feeds the outlet, then the spring returns it to closed when power drops. The lead-out wire makes it easy to land the valve straight into a terminal strip inside a crowded cabinet.
The body mounts on the dedicated 3V2M base, where several valves can share one air supply and one wiring run and be mixed and expanded freely. A manual override helps during installation and commissioning. Flow coefficient is Cv 0.1, coil power is 7 VA, and the construction is rated IP65 (DIN 40050).

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. |
| I | Electrical entry: I = flying lead, otherwise a DIN plug. |
| 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.
The flying lead lands directly on terminal strips, so replacing an old AC24V valve in a machine's electrical cabinet needs no matching DIN connector.
A single-acting gripper on a robot end-of-arm tool opens or closes on one NC valve, spring-returning safely when the coil drops out.
A normally closed valve keeps the blow-off nozzle silent between cycles and fires an air pulse only when the AC24V coil is energised.
At Cv 0.1, the 3V2M trades some per-station flow for manifold density, since the flow path runs through the base. A station that needs more flow should carry an individual 3V2 valve instead - Cv 0.18 at 1/8 inch and 0.19 at 1/4 inch, and vacuum-rated, which the 3V2M is not - while 3V3 gives the top flow of the range at Cv 0.62 on 1/4 inch. Where the duty is light and power matters, 3V1 needs only 3.0 W on DC. A 3/2 valve handles single-acting cylinders, blow, clamping and pilot duty; double-acting cylinders require a 5-port 4V valve.
Confirm five points before you buy: initial state - NC here, and it cannot be changed to NO afterwards; coil voltage AC24V; electrical entry - the I suffix means flying lead, not a DIN plug; the 3V2M base and station count you will mount it on; and the exhaust style of that base. PT is the standard thread on this family, with G and NPT available to order.
Confirm before you order
Flow coefficient Cv 0.1; operating pressure 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi); temperature range -20 to 70 C; AC coil power 7 VA; protection IP65 (DIN 40050); port PT1/8; medium air filtered to 40 um or finer, no lubrication needed; direct-acting with spring return and a manual override.
It switches one outlet between supply and exhaust, so it suits single-acting spring-return cylinders, on/off air blow, clamping and pilot duty. It cannot drive a double-acting cylinder - that needs two outlet ports and a 5-port AirTAC 4V valve. And being 3V2M, it carries no vacuum rating.
