The AirTAC Airtac 3V2M Solenoid Valve 3V2MNOBI-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.
At seventeen stations the 3V2MNOBI-17F sits at the larger end of the 3V2M manifold range: seventeen normally open 3/2 valve bodies, DC24V coils, and pre-terminated flying leads in place of DIN sockets. Each valve is direct-acting with spring return and coaxial shut-off, feeding its outlet or venting it to the centralised exhaust.
Check the electrical side before you buy: seventeen 7.0 W coils total 119 W when everything is energised, near 5 A at 24 V. That single figure usually decides the power supply - and the shared-wiring layout is still far easier to install than seventeen individual plug-in 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. |
| DC24V | 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.
Air jets and short-stroke rams place and push cartons on a packing line, one station per actuator across the 17-way base with a single supply.
Multiple pneumatic hold-down clamps along a woodworking jig, each clamp fed and vented by its own station from the shared manifold.
Small air-operated process valves piloted station by station, with NO logic keeping each pilot line live until its coil vents it on command.
Seventeen stations at Cv 0.1 is a density play; where a single station needs more air, specify 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), and use a 3V1 (3.0 W DC) where power is tight.
Order by five attributes: normally open initial state, DC24V coil, flying-lead entry, 17 stations, centralised exhaust, plus PT thread (G and NPT can be ordered). The NO state is locked in at manufacture - it cannot be converted afterwards, by gasket or otherwise. If the target actuator is a double-acting cylinder, that requires a 5-port AirTAC 4V valve.
Confirm before you order
Count on Cv 0.1 per station, 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi) operating pressure, -20 to 70 C temperature, 7.0 W per DC24V coil (AC equivalents 7 VA), IP65 per DIN 40050, and PT1/8 ports. Air must pass a 40 um or finer filter; the medium needs no lubrication.
Order NO when the outlet should pass air while the coil is de-energised and vent when energised - typical for fail-active clamping or pilots that must stay live through a power loss. The choice is permanent: the dedicated base gasket cannot be flipped to change it, and the catalogue confirms there is no field conversion. Order NC instead if the outlet must stay dead at rest.
