The AirTAC Airtac 3V2M Solenoid Valve 3V2MNCEI-2F 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-2F puts two 3/2 normally closed valves with AC24V coils on a single dedicated base, each coil ending in a pre-wired flying lead. Normally closed means both outlets stay vented until their coil is energised, and each spring returns its poppet on power loss. The NC state is set at the factory and cannot be reversed by flipping the base gasket or by any other field trick.
Two stations on one block still get the manifold benefits: one air feed, one wiring entry, PT1/8 supply and outlet ports, and a shared centralised exhaust. Each valve seals by a coaxial poppet, is rated Cv 0.1, and the coil assembly carries IP65 protection.

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. |
| 2F | 2 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.

Before ordering, fix five things: NC state, AC24V coil, flying-lead entry, two stations and centralised exhaust on a PT thread - G or NPT are catalogue options to order. Two Cv 0.1 stations cover small cylinders and blow duty; if one function is undersized, split it out to an individual 3V2 (Cv 0.18 at 1/8 in) or a 3V3 (Cv 0.62 at 1/4 in), and use 3V1 at 3.0 W DC where coil power is tight. Double-acting cylinders need the 5-port AirTAC 4V series, not this 3/2 bank.
Confirm before you order
Cv 0.1 per valve, 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi) operating pressure, -20 to 70 C medium temperature, 7 VA per AC24V coil (14 VA with both energised), IP65 per DIN 40050, PT1/8 ports; G and NPT are order options. Use air filtered to 40 um or finer.
Each 3/2 valve feeds or vents one outlet, so it suits single-acting spring-return cylinders, clamps, blow nozzles and pilot stages. It has three ports and cannot move a double-acting cylinder in both directions - that task needs a 5-port AirTAC 4V valve.
