The AirTAC Airtac 3V2M Solenoid Valve 3V2MNOFI-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.
The 3V2MNOFI-4F is a complete four-station assembly of normally open 3/2 solenoid valves. Every valve passes air from supply to outlet until its coil is energised, then the spring shuts the path and vents the outlet - the reverse logic of an NC valve, so order it only where a fail-open outlet is wanted. Each valve is direct-acting with a coaxial shut-off poppet and mounts on the dedicated 4F base, giving one PT1/8 supply point and shared wiring for the whole group.
The DC12V coil draws 7.0 W, so four energised stations together ask roughly 28 W - about 2.3 A at 12 V, a figure to size the low-voltage supply around. Coils are IP65 (DIN 40050) and each valve carries a manual override for commissioning. Cv 0.1 per station suits pilot, clamp and light blow duties. Confirm any figure not published here from the datasheet before ordering.

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. |
| 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.
A 12 V mobile cart carrying pneumatic test tools runs this 4-station bank straight from a vehicle battery; flying leads suit the temporary loom and NO logic keeps vent paths open at power-off.
Four NO valves feed air knives on a bottle-rinse conveyor; if the controller dies, outlets keep blowing and clear product from the line before it is stopped safely.
A capsule sorter drives four single-acting ejector pins from one supply point; each pin needs only a 3/2 feed-and-vent station, and the shared base keeps wiring to two leads per coil.
Choose 3V2M when station count matters more than per-station flow: Cv 0.1 is the price of routing through the base, against Cv 0.18 at 1/8 in on an individual 3V2 or Cv 0.62 on a 3V3 for the highest 3V-range flow; 3V1 is the low-power pick at 3.0 W DC if the duty is small. A normally open state cannot be converted later - the dedicated base gasket does not change NC to NO - so confirm NO up front. Match every point before ordering: initial state, coil voltage (DC12V here), electrical entry (flying lead), station count (4F), exhaust type (centralised) and thread (PT standard; G or NPT on request). Double-acting cylinders need a 5-port AirTAC 4V valve, not this 3/2 series.
Confirm before you order
It is a normally open 3/2, direct-acting assembly of four valves on one base. Flow coefficient Cv 0.1 per station, operating pressure 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi), temperature -20 to 70 C, DC12V coil at 7.0 W (four energised coils together about 28 W), IP65 to DIN 40050, PT1/8 ports, air filtered to 40 um or finer.
No. The 3V2M initial state is fixed by the valve as ordered; the dedicated base gasket cannot be flipped to convert NO to NC or the reverse, and no field adjustment changes it. If a station must be normally closed, order that valve as NC.
