The AirTAC Airtac 3V2M Solenoid Valve 3V2MNCF-3F 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-3F is a pre-matched set of three normally closed 3/2 valves, each with a DC12V coil at 7.0 W and a DIN plug socket, mounted on a 3-station 3V2M base. Until a coil is energised, the supply is shut off at each outlet, so the three spring-return outputs stay vented at rest. The direct-acting coaxial poppet design seals cleanly across 0-0.8 MPa at Cv 0.1.
Because the three valves share one base, a single air feed and a single wiring run serve the whole group, which cuts plumbing time and makes a stuck station easy to isolate during commissioning. A manual override on each valve lets you step through the sequence without power.

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. |

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.
Three NC valves fire three spring-return clamp cylinders in a drilling jig, so the nests stay vented and safe whenever the 12 V control circuit is off.
On a maintenance cart wired for 12 V, the DC12V coils draw 7.0 W each, a 21 W worst case that small battery banks handle comfortably.
Operators use the manual override to seat each insert by hand during setup, then hand control back to the solenoids for the production run.
Check five points before ordering: NC state, DC12V coil, DIN plug entry, 3 stations and centralised exhaust, with PT as the standard thread (G and NPT are catalogue options to order). The NC state is fixed at the factory - it cannot be converted later, and flipping the base gasket does not change it. At Cv 0.1 this manifold favours station density over flow: if one circuit needs more, use an individual 3V2 (Cv 0.18 at 1/8, 0.19 at 1/4, vacuum-rated) or a 3V3 (Cv 0.62 at 1/4, vacuum-rated); 3V1 at 3.0 W DC suits low-power duty. Double-acting cylinders need the AirTAC 4V series instead.
Confirm before you order
Three NC 3/2 valves on a 3-station base. Flow coefficient Cv 0.1, operating pressure 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi), temperature -20 to 70 C, DC coil power 7.0 W per valve, ingress protection IP65 (DIN 40050), ports PT1/8, air filtered to 40 um or finer, lubrication not required.
No. The initial state is built into each valve at the factory. AirTAC states that reversing or flipping the dedicated base gasket does NOT convert NC to NO, so the state must be ordered correctly up front. For a normally open function, order the 3V2MN... version instead.
