The AirTAC Airtac 3V2M Solenoid Valve 3V2MNOFI-11F 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.
Eleven is a station count the 3V2M range reaches without gaps: the 3V2MNOFI-11F sets eleven normally open 3/2 poppet valves on a single base with one shared PT1/8 supply and one wiring run for the flying-lead coils. Stations can be mixed or expanded on the same manifold concept if the machine grows later.
De-energised, every outlet passes air; energising the DC12V coil vents that station through the base's centralised exhaust port. Eleven coils at 7.0 W draw 77 W together, close to 6.4 A at 12 V in the worst case. Each valve is direct-acting with spring return and coaxial shut-off, flows Cv 0.1, is protected to IP65 and carries a manual override. The normally open state is an ordering decision: no field conversion, and no gasket flip, turns it into 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. |
| DC12V | Coil voltage. A = AC220V, B = DC24V, C = AC110V, E = AC24V, F = DC12V. |
| I | Electrical entry: I = flying lead, otherwise a DIN plug. |
| 11F | 11 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.
Eleven spring-return clamps close over castings on a leak-test stand; each normally open station holds its clamp position until the 12 V coil commands a vent.
An environmental chamber vents eleven zones by default; each NO valve shuts its zone vent only when its coil energises, all fed from one 12 V control rail.
On a gas sampling skid, relief lines stay open through normally open valves, so a power cut leaves every point venting - the fail-safe direction the NO state provides.
Match five points before ordering: normally open initial state (fixed for life - the dedicated base gasket cannot be reversed to change it), DC12V coil, flying lead entry, eleven stations with centralised exhaust, and PT thread as the family standard (G and NPT are catalogue choices).
At Cv 0.1 this bank buys density, not flow: a station needing more should run an individual 3V2 (Cv 0.18 at 1/8 in, 0.19 at 1/4 in, vacuum-rated) or a 3V3 (Cv 0.62, 1/4 in, vacuum-rated), while 3V1 handles light duties at 3.0 W DC. Double-acting cylinders are 5-port territory - specify the AirTAC 4V series for those.
Confirm before you order
Eleven 3/2 direct-acting spring-return poppet valves, Cv 0.1 each, operating pressure 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi), temperature -20 to 70 C, DC12V coils at 7.0 W (77 W bank worst case), IP65 (DIN 40050), PT1/8 ports, centralised exhaust, manual override per valve, air filtered to 40 um or finer without lubrication.
Centralised exhaust routes all eleven stations out through one base port, which keeps ducting and silencing simple. Choose the D (independent exhaust) variant instead when stations must vent separately - for example to stop one station's discharge back-pressuring another. State and station count are fixed at order either way.
