The AirTAC Airtac 3V2M Solenoid Valve 3V2MNCFI-17F 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.
On the 3V2MNCFI-17F all seventeen positions discharge through one shared centralised exhaust port, so the machine builder fits a single silenced outlet rather than seventeen separate ones. Supply is just as consolidated: seventeen NC 3/2 valves sit on one dedicated base with PT1/8 ports and one air inlet gallery.
Each valve is direct-acting with a single DC12V solenoid and spring return; total coil load is 7.0 W per station, about 119 W or close to 9.9 A at 12 V if every output is held on together. Coaxial poppet sealing keeps each normally closed outlet tight until its coil opens it, and Cv 0.1 defines the flow available per position.

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. |
| I | Electrical entry: I = flying lead, otherwise a DIN plug. |
| 17F | 17 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.
Seventeen 3/2 pilots actuate diaphragm valves on a media filter skid, all fed and vented through the one manifold.
Seventeen spring-return block valves on a rotary filler cut each fill head in and out, driven from a common 12 V supply.
Guard-area clamp cylinders on a stamping press hold only while energised; the NC valves vent them the moment control power fails.
This 17-station bank concentrates supply and wiring on a single base at Cv 0.1 per valve. If one particular function needs a bigger opening, replace that valve with an individual 3V2 (Cv 0.18 at 1/8 in, 0.19 at 1/4 in, vacuum-rated) or a 3V3 (Cv 0.62, 1/4 in, vacuum-rated), while a 3V1 at 3.0 W DC covers low-power points. A 3/2 valve feeds or vents one line only - double-acting cylinders need the 5-port AirTAC 4V series.
Decide five points before ordering: NC versus NO (an NC valve cannot be turned into NO after purchase - flipping the base gasket will not do it), DC12V coil, flying-lead entry, 17 stations on a centralised-exhaust base (the -D independent-exhaust version is the alternative), and thread: PT is the standard on this family, with G and NPT as order options.
Confirm before you order
Per position: 3/2 direct-acting poppet valve, Cv 0.1 flow coefficient, 0-0.8 MPa working pressure, -20 to 70 C temperature range, DC12V coil at 7.0 W (AC versions 7 VA), IP65 protection. Ports are PT1/8; use air filtered to 40 um or finer; lubrication is not needed.
Centralised exhaust pipes all 17 stations into one mufflered outlet, which simplifies piping and keeps noise in one place. An independent-exhaust (-D) base vents each station separately - the better pick when you must capture, monitor or isolate the discharge of individual functions.
