The AirTAC Airtac 3V2M Solenoid Valve 3V2MNCF-15F 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 3V2MNCF-15F is a factory-built 15-station assembly: fifteen 3V2M normally closed valve bodies mounted on one dedicated base, all fed from a shared air supply and shared wiring points. Each body is a 3/2 direct-acting unit with a single DC12V solenoid and spring return, sealed by a coaxial shut-off poppet for tight closing. Until a coil is energised, that station's outlet stays closed, so a de-energised actuator sees no air.
The base turns fifteen separate valves into one panel-friendly unit: air enters through a single inlet, wiring lands once instead of fifteen times, and faults can be traced station by station on the common manifold. Each DC coil draws 7.0 W and the bodies carry an IP65 (DIN 40050) rating. Note that the NC initial state is fixed at order stage - the dedicated base gasket cannot be flipped to convert NC to NO.

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. |
| DC12V | Coil voltage. A = AC220V, B = DC24V, C = AC110V, E = AC24V, F = DC12V. |
| — | Electrical entry: I = flying lead, otherwise a DIN plug. |
| 15F | 15 stations in one assembly, centralised exhaust. |

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.
Spring-return clamps on a 15-position rotary indexing table for small electronic parts: each NC valve feeds one clamp only while energised, and every clamp releases the moment its coil drops.
Sortation conveyors with one single-acting diverter gate per lane: fifteen gates share one supply inlet and one wiring point, so a jammed lane can be traced without opening a control cabinet.
A leak-test bench pressing spring-return probes onto fifteen ports in turn; NC logic guarantees no probe sees air until the controller commands it.
Choose the 3V2M manifold family when station density matters more than per-station flow: Cv 0.1 per valve, because the flow path runs through the base. If one circuit point needs more, use an individual 3V2 body instead (Cv 0.18 at 1/8 in, 0.19 at 1/4 in, and vacuum-rated), or step to 3V3 (Cv 0.62, 1/4 in, vacuum-rated) for the highest flow in the 3V range; 3V1 is the low-power pick at 3.0 W DC. A double-acting cylinder cannot be driven by any 3-port valve - route that need to the AirTAC 4V series.
Match five points before ordering: initial state (NC here, and it cannot be changed after purchase), coil voltage (DC12V), electrical entry (DIN plug), station count (15) and exhaust type (centralised). Thread is PT as standard on this family; G and NPT are catalogue options to order.
Confirm before you order
It is a 15-station 3/2 NC DC12V assembly: Cv 0.1 per valve, operating pressure 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi), temperature -20 to 70 C, coil power 7.0 W per DC valve, protection IP65 (DIN 40050), PT1/8 ports with G and NPT available to order, direct-acting spring return, manual override fitted.
No. 3V2M uses a dedicated base gasket, and reversing or flipping that gasket does not change NC to NO. The initial state is built into the valve bodies you order. If any circuit needs a normally open function, order those stations as NO up front.
