The AirTAC Airtac 3V2M Solenoid Valve 3V2MNOFI-13F 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.
This 13-station assembly is built around wiring speed: every 3V2M valve carries a flying lead, so each of the thirteen NO stations connects by a pre-wired lead-out instead of seating a DIN plug into the body. Coils are DC12V and the valves are direct-acting, single solenoid with spring return.
Normally open means a station passes air the moment supply arrives and only stops when its coil is energised - the opposite logic of a standard NC bank, so check your PLC outputs before ordering. The base joins all thirteen valves to one supply and one central exhaust, and the shared wiring makes it quick to trace a faulty station.

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. |
| 13F | 13 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.
Thirteen single-acting swing clamps on a machining fixture stay clamped with the machine idle; energising each NO valve vents the clamp so the operator can load.
A lab autosampler carousel keeps purge air flowing to thirteen tube positions; the controller energises a station only when it needs to stop that purge.
On a case packer, spring-return ejector pins fire while the manifold is de-energised, so a control fault leaves the machine in its safe eject position.
Before ordering, tick five boxes: initial state (NO, unchangeable after purchase), coil voltage (DC12V, 7.0 W per coil), electrical entry (flying lead), station count (13) and exhaust (centralised), then thread - PT1/8 is the family standard, with G and NPT as options to order.
If a station needs more flow than Cv 0.1, fit a standalone 3V2 there (Cv 0.18 at 1/8 in, 0.19 at 1/4 in, vacuum-rated) or step that duty up to a 3V3 at Cv 0.62. Light intermittent duties can drop to a 3V1 at 3.0 W DC. Double-acting cylinders are out of scope for 3/2 valves - specify the AirTAC 4V series for those.
Confirm before you order
Per station: flow coefficient Cv 0.1, pressure range 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi), temperature -20 to 70 C, DC12V coil power 7.0 W, protection IP65 to DIN 40050. Thirteen stations all energised draw about 91 W, near 7.6 A at 12 V.
Station count is fixed by the machined base, so pick the number that matches the machine's valve list and keep a spare position. Valves mount in any mix, but the NC or NO state of each cannot be changed afterwards - the dedicated base gasket cannot be flipped to invert it, so order every station's state up front. A 3/2 valve drives single-acting cylinders and blow duty only; double-acting cylinders need the 5-port AirTAC 4V.
