Airtac 3V2M Solenoid Valve 3V2MNCF-16F
The AirTAC Airtac 3V2M Solenoid Valve 3V2MNCF-16F 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.

About the Airtac 3V2M Solenoid Valve 3V2MNCF-16F
Sixteen normally closed 3V2M valve bodies on a single dedicated base: that is the 3V2MNCF-16F. Every body is a direct-acting 3/2 unit with one DC12V solenoid and spring return, coaxial poppet sealing, and no air at its outlet until the coil is energised.
Size the 12 V supply for the worst case, not the average. Each DC coil draws 7.0 W, so sixteen stations energised together need about 112 W, roughly 9.3 A at 12 V - before any other load on the rail. Exhaust on this assembly is centralised, so all sixteen valves vent through the shared base port; keep that path free of back pressure. The IP65 (DIN 40050) coil housings and fitted manual override make panel installation and commissioning straightforward.

What a 3/2 Valve Does
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.
Where the Airtac 3V2M Solenoid Valve 3V2MNCF-16F Is Used
Modular fixture plate
Sixteen spring-return swing clamps on a modular welding fixture plate, one NC valve per clamp so each point is fed or vented independently from a single manifold.
Fastener press bank
A bank of small pneumatic presses driving spring-return punches for rivet and fastener setting, with shared wiring making station-level fault finding quick.
Harness hold-down rail
A wire-harness forming board where sixteen NC valves actuate hold-down pins along the rail, releasing every point at once when the line stops.
Is the Airtac 3V2M Solenoid Valve 3V2MNCF-16F the Right Part?
At Cv 0.1 per valve, the 3V2M family buys manifold density at the cost of per-station flow. A station that needs more can take an individual 3V2 body (Cv 0.18 at 1/8 in, 0.19 at 1/4 in, and vacuum-rated), while 3V3 reaches Cv 0.62 on 1/4 in ports, and 3V1 suits small duties at just 3.0 W DC. A double-acting cylinder cannot be driven by a 3-port valve - send that requirement to the AirTAC 4V series.
Confirm five things when ordering: NC initial state (not convertible after purchase), DC12V coil, DIN plug entry, 16 stations and centralised exhaust, plus thread - PT is the standard on this family, with G and NPT as order options.
Confirm before you order
- ✓ Port size and thread (PT from stock; G / NPT to order)
- ✓ Initial state — NC or NO, ordered up front
- ✓ Coil voltage matches your controller output
- ✓ Electrical entry — DIN plug or flying lead
- ✓ Single valve, bare base, or complete assembly
- ✓ Single-acting duty, not double-acting
Installation & Wiring Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Stay within 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi) operating pressure.
- check Match the coil voltage to your controller output.
- check Use the manual override to test before powering up.
- check Leave the exhaust port clear, or fit a silencer.
- check Blank any unused station on the base before pressurising.
- check Wiring by qualified personnel, per AirTAC documentation.
Airtac 3V2M Solenoid Valve 3V2MNCF-16F FAQ
Each DC12V coil draws 7.0 W, so a fully energised 16-station assembly needs about 112 W, roughly 9.3 A at 12 V. Other ratings: Cv 0.1 per valve, pressure 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi), temperature -20 to 70 C, IP65 (DIN 40050).
On the -16F all sixteen valves vent through one shared port on the base, which keeps plumbing simple but means every station shares that path. If a circuit needs each valve to vent separately, order the D version with independent exhaust instead. Exhaust style, like state and voltage, is fixed by the code you order.
