The AirTAC Airtac 3V2M Solenoid Valve 3V2MNOBI-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.
3V2MNOBI-3F pairs three normally open 3/2 valve bodies with a 3-station 3V2M base, so one part number buys a working manifold instead of loose valves. Each station is direct-acting with a single solenoid, spring return and a coaxial shut-off poppet for positive sealing. Because the initial state is NO, every outlet passes air from the shared supply until its coil is energised, then vents it - a fail-safe-on-power-loss pattern. The DC24V coils draw 7.0 W per station, and the flying-lead entry means each valve arrives pre-wired for direct terminal connection rather than needing a DIN plug socket.
The base takes a single PT1/8 supply and feeds all three stations through one shared wiring loom, with a centralised exhaust port serving the whole block, which cuts pipe runs and speeds up fault-finding. Manual override is fitted on each valve for commissioning, and the assembly is IP65 (DIN 40050). One caution: NO is fixed at order. The dedicated base gasket cannot be flipped or reversed to convert the state, so confirm NO is what your circuit needs before you buy.

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. |

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 normally open clamps grip the workpiece the moment plant air arrives and release it if the supply drops, so a power failure cannot trap a part in an unclamped fixture.
Each NO station keeps its blow nozzle purging crumbs and dust between packs and cuts off cleanly when the PLC energises the coil for a stop or changeover.
The flying-lead valves sit in the control cabinet and pilot larger gate or divert valves, with the manifold keeping three pilot functions on one air and one wiring run.
Match five points to your circuit: normally open state, DC24V coil, flying-lead entry, 3 stations and centralised exhaust, on the PT standard thread (G and NPT are order options, not the default). Then check flow honestly: Cv 0.1 is the trade-off for routing through the manifold base - the individually ported 3V2 gives Cv 0.18 at 1/8 in and is vacuum-rated, the 3V3 reaches Cv 0.62 at 1/4 in, and the 3V1 at 3.0 W DC suits small duties where coil power matters more than density.
Budget the 24 V supply for the worst case: three stations all energised draw about 21 W, comfortably under 1 A, so a small PSU leaves headroom to expand the manifold later. Remember each 3/2 station either feeds or vents one port, driving spring-return single-acting cylinders, clamps and blow-off - a double-acting cylinder needs a 5-port valve from the AirTAC 4V series instead.
Confirm before you order
It is a 3-station assembly of normally open 3/2 valves on a 3V2M base with centralised exhaust and PT1/8 ports. Flow coefficient Cv 0.1, operating pressure 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi), temperature -20 to 70 C, DC24V coils at 7.0 W each (AC versions are 7 VA), protection IP65 to DIN 40050, and air filtered to 40 um or finer with no lubrication required.
No. The initial state is fixed at order - reversing or flipping the dedicated base gasket does not convert NO to NC, so order the state your circuit actually needs. In NO mode each outlet passes air until energised, then vents it. Each 3/2 station drives single-acting spring-return cylinders, clamps, blow-off or pilot duty; it cannot drive a double-acting cylinder, which requires a 5-port AirTAC 4V valve.
