The AirTAC Airtac 3V2M Solenoid Valve 3V2MNOAI-8F 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 3V2MNOAI-8F arrives as a complete eight-station block: eight 3/2 normally open valve bodies pre-mounted on a dedicated 8F base, wired with flying leads and fed from a single AC220V supply. Every valve is normally open, so compressed air flows to each outlet until its solenoid is energised - useful where a machine must pass air at rest, for example venting or blowing between cycles.
Each valve is direct-acting with a spring return and a coaxial poppet shut-off, rated Cv 0.1 and IP65 (DIN 40050). Because all eight bodies sit on one base, they share one air supply and one wiring harness, so a fault on any station is found faster than tracing eight separate valves.

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. |
| NO | Normally open: air passes until the coil is energised. |
| AC220V | Coil voltage. A = AC220V, B = DC24V, C = AC110V, E = AC24V, F = DC12V. |
| I | Electrical entry: I = flying lead, otherwise a DIN plug. |
| 8F | 8 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.
Eight NO valves keep spring-return clamps pressurised between cycles on a carton sealing machine, dropping each clamp only when the PLC energises that station during pallet ejection.
A row of blow nozzles above a belt sorter stays on at rest; each NO station cuts its jet only when energised, letting the shared AC220V supply feed all eight from one manifold.
Continuous purge air to booth nozzles runs through eight normally open ports, with one energised shut-off per zone for maintenance without disturbing the other seven.
Confirm the initial state before ordering: NO here means air passes until energised, and this cannot be converted afterwards - the dedicated base gasket cannot be flipped to change NC to NO or the reverse. If a station needs more flow than Cv 0.1, move that circuit to an individual 3V2 (Cv 0.18 at 1/8 inch, 0.19 at 1/4 inch, vacuum-rated) or to 3V3 (Cv 0.62, 1/4 inch). For small duties, 3V1 draws only 3.0 W on DC.
Match five points: initial state (NO), coil voltage (AC220V here), electrical entry (flying lead, not a DIN socket), station count (8F), and exhaust (centralised, all stations vent through one port). PT thread is standard on this family; G and NPT are catalogue options to order. For a double-acting cylinder you need a 5-port AirTAC 4V valve, not this 3/2 series.
Confirm before you order
Eight normally open 3/2 valves, AC220V coils at 7 VA each, flying-lead entry, Cv 0.1 per valve, operating pressure 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi), temperature -20 to 70 C, IP65 (DIN 40050), PT1/8 ports on a centralised-exhaust 8F base. Full datasheet available on RFQ.
The I entry replaces each DIN socket with a pre-wired lead-out, so the eight stations land on terminal strips without ordering separate plugs - handy in a controlled AC220V panel. If your panel prefers plug-in coils, order the non-I version with DIN sockets instead.
