The AirTAC Airtac 3V2M Solenoid Valve 3V2MNOCI-12F 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 3V2MNOCI-12F is a complete 12-station manifold assembly: twelve NC 3/2-way valve bodies, each with an AC110V coil wired through a flying lead, mounted on one dedicated base. A normally closed valve keeps its outlet vented until the solenoid energises, so idle stations stay safely off. Each direct-acting, spring-return valve uses a coaxial shut-off poppet for tight sealing and holds Cv 0.1 with PT1/8 ports.
Because all twelve valves share one supply gallery and one wiring run, commissioning and fault-finding stay simple. Size the transformer for the worst case: at 7 VA per AC coil, a fully energised 12-station assembly draws about 84 VA. Note that the normally closed state is fixed at order time and cannot be converted afterwards.

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. |
| I | Electrical entry: I = flying lead, otherwise a DIN plug. |
| 12F | 12 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.
A leak-test bench cycling twelve spring-return clamps or blow-offs from one air feed uses one 3V2M base instead of a nest of individual valves.
Each pocket of a sorting gate needs its own 3/2 puff of air; twelve NC stations fire individually off one common supply.
Twelve air knives or nozzles along a drying line switch on demand, each from its own normally closed valve on the shared manifold.
Choose this assembly when twelve NC switching points, one shared air feed and one wiring run beat twelve separate valves. Match five points before ordering: initial state (NC here), coil voltage (AC110V), electrical entry (flying lead), station count (12F) and exhaust type (centralised here), plus thread (PT standard; G or NPT to order). NC/NO cannot be changed after purchase. If a station needs more flow than Cv 0.1, use an individual 3V2 valve (Cv 0.18 at 1/8 in, 0.19 at 1/4 in, vacuum-rated) or a 3V3 (Cv 0.62, 1/4 in); for small low-power duties the 3V1 at 3.0 W DC fits. Double-acting cylinders need the 5-port AirTAC 4V series.
Confirm before you order
Each of the twelve valves offers Cv 0.1, operates at 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi) and -20 to 70 C, and carries an AC110V coil rated 7 VA (DC versions are 7.0 W). Protection is IP65 per DIN 40050, ports are PT1/8, and the medium is air filtered to 40 um or finer, with no lubrication required.
No. AirTAC states that the dedicated 3V2M base gasket cannot be reversed or re-fitted to change the initial state, so a normally closed valve stays normally closed for life. If you need normally open behaviour at any station, order that station as a NO valve from the start.
