The AirTAC Airtac 3V2M Solenoid Valve 3V2MNOF-4F 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.
Four normally open 3/2 valve bodies on one manifold give the 3V2MNOF-4F four switchable air outputs fed from a single supply through a single wiring entry. Every body is direct-acting and spring-returned with a coaxial poppet for positive shut-off, passing Cv 0.1 through PT1/8 ports. De-energised, each outlet passes air; firing its DC12V coil closes that station.
The base format leaves room to grow: 3V2M stations combine and expand freely, and valves of different types can be mixed on compatible bases as the machine evolves. Four DC coils at 7.0 W add up to 28 W, about 2.3 A at 12 V with all stations energised - a figure to give your power-supply sizing. Remember the NO state is fixed at order time and cannot be converted in the field.

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. |
| DC12V | Coil voltage. A = AC220V, B = DC24V, C = AC110V, E = AC24V, F = DC12V. |
| — | Electrical entry: I = flying lead, otherwise a DIN plug. |
| 4F | 4 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.
An OEM control panel with four 12 V pneumatic outputs tied to PLC points, each NO station proved flowing at rest before cycle start.
A pick-and-place end-effector carrying four small single-acting fingers, each released by its own valve on a shared 12 V manifold behind the wrist.
A counting unit where four per-lane ejector pulses stay charged until each coil fires, letting the PLC trim output one lane at a time.
Pick this code when a cell needs four ON/OFF air duties served from one point. Cv 0.1 per station is the trade-off for manifold density: step up to an individual 3V2 (Cv 0.18 at 1/8 inch, 0.19 at 1/4 inch, vacuum-rated) or 3V3 (Cv 0.62, 1/4 inch, vacuum-rated) where a function needs more flow, or use 3V1 at 3.0 W DC for light, low-power duties. Double-acting cylinders require a 5-port valve - go to the AirTAC 4V series.
Before ordering, settle five points: normally open state, DC12V coil, DIN plug entry, 4 stations, centralised exhaust, and the thread (PT standard, with G and NPT as catalogue options). NC and NO cannot be swapped after purchase.
Confirm before you order
Four normally open 3/2 stations: Cv 0.1 flow coefficient, 0-0.8 MPa pressure range, -20 to 70 C, DC12V coils at 7.0 W each (28 W with all four on), IP65 (DIN 40050), PT1/8 ports, manual override per body.
Each is a 3/2 valve with one outlet, so it feeds or vents single-acting spring-return cylinders, swing clamps, air blow nozzles and pilot stages. It cannot drive a double-acting cylinder - that needs a 5-port valve such as the AirTAC 4V series.
