The AirTAC Airtac 3V2M Solenoid Valve 3V2MNOEI-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.
Order the AirTAC 3V2MNOEI-3F and you get three normally open 3/2 valves already assembled on one 3-station base with a single PT1/8 supply feeding all of them. Each valve is direct-acting, single-solenoid with spring return, and its coaxial poppet seals reliably at Cv 0.1. The NO state means air flows to all three outlets while the coils are off.
Wiring is the headline here: each AC24V coil (7 VA) terminates in a flying lead, so the cabinet-side harness can be built before the valves are mounted. One shared wiring loom also makes faults quicker to isolate - a dead station stands out clearly against two live ones on the same feed. Manual overrides on every body ease setup. Once built, the NO configuration is permanent; the dedicated gasket cannot be flipped to turn it NC.

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. |
| AC24V | Coil voltage. A = AC220V, B = DC24V, C = AC110V, E = AC24V, F = DC12V. |
| I | Electrical entry: I = flying lead, otherwise a DIN plug. |
| 3F | 3 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.
Three normally open jets keep lint off the warp lines of a weaving loom during every stop, and each can be shut off separately by energising its coil.
Three single-acting lift pins on a rotary indexing table hold parts up while idle; energising the matching coil lowers one pin at the unload station.
A materials-testing bench routes air to three spring-return test actuators from one block, so technicians swap circuits without rewiring separate valves.
Confirm five things before ordering: normally open initial state (it cannot be converted to NC after purchase), AC24V, flying lead instead of DIN plug, 3 stations, and centralised exhaust, with PT as the standard thread and G or NPT to order. Flow sits at Cv 0.1 per station because the path runs through the base; step up to a standalone 3V2 (Cv 0.18 at 1/8, 0.19 at 1/4, vacuum-rated) or a 3V3 (Cv 0.62 at 1/4, vacuum-rated) where one circuit needs more, and drop to 3V1 (3.0 W DC) for low-power duty. For double-acting cylinders, use the AirTAC 4V series.
Confirm before you order
Three 3/2 NO valves on one base: Cv 0.1, pressure 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi), temperature -20 to 70 C, AC24V coils at 7 VA each, IP65 (DIN 40050), PT1/8 ports, centralised exhaust.
Normally open means each outlet passes air until its coil is energised. 3V2M uses a dedicated base gasket, and reversing or flipping that gasket does not convert NC to NO - the state is fixed at the factory. Decide NC or NO before you buy.
