The AirTAC Airtac 3V2M Solenoid Valve 3V2MNOC-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 3V2MNOC-8F combines eight normally open 3/2 valves on a single base fed by one air supply and one harness. Eight AC110V coils at 7 VA each add up to 56 VA if every station is energised at once, so size the control transformer for that worst case, not for one valve.
Each station is a direct-acting, spring-return coaxial poppet with Cv 0.1 and PT1/8 ports, IP65 rated, with manual override. In the de-energised rest state all eight outlets pass air; energising a station vents it. The base is the 8F block with a centralised exhaust, and the NO state is set by the dedicated gasket - it cannot be reversed later.

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. |
| AC110V | 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.
Eight lock actuators along a cross-dock trailer bay are kept engaged by standby air and released one at a time when the control energises the matching coil.
A maintenance cell mounts eight hold-down clamps for repair fixtures on one manifold, sharing a single filter-regulator and one wiring drop.
Eight stop gates along a flow wrapper hold product on standby air; energising a station vents its single-acting cylinder and the spring drops the gate.
With eight stations sharing one supply, keep the worst case in view: 8 x 7 VA = 56 VA of AC coil load, with Cv 0.1 of flow per valve. If any single duty outgrows that, mount an individual 3V2 (Cv 0.18 at 1/8, 0.19 at 1/4) or 3V3 (Cv 0.62) beside the manifold; 3V1 at 3.0 W DC suits low-power duties. A double-acting cylinder needs the 5-port AirTAC 4V series instead.
Five points to confirm at order time: normally open state, AC110V coil, DIN plug, 8 stations, centralised exhaust, PT1/8 thread (G and NPT available to order). The NO state is fixed at manufacture and cannot be converted on site.
Confirm before you order
Eight 3/2 normally open poppet valves: Cv 0.1, 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi), -20 to 70 C, IP65 to DIN 40050; AC110V coils at 7 VA each (DC variants 7.0 W), manual override on every body; 8F base, PT1/8, centralised exhaust, 40 um filtration, no lubrication needed.
Normally open passes air until energised; normally closed blocks until energised. On 3V2M the choice is made by the dedicated base gasket and cannot be flipped or otherwise converted after purchase - AirTAC states this explicitly. If your circuit must hold pressure while idle, this NO set is the wrong pick; order the NC version instead.
