The AirTAC Airtac 3V2M Solenoid Valve 3V2MNOFI-5F 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 3V2MNOFI-5F and you receive a five-station bank of normally open 3/2 valves already matched to its base and wired with flying leads rather than DIN sockets. The pre-fitted lead-out wire saves plugging five separate connectors during panel assembly and keeps each coil drop tidy inside tight cabinets. Valves are direct-acting, spring return and coaxial poppet sealed; until a coil energises the outlet is fed, and on energising it vents.
Each DC12V coil takes 7.0 W, so five coils at full simultaneous pull-in ask about 35 W - roughly 3 A from the 12 V rail. Protection is IP65 (DIN 40050), flow is Cv 0.1 per station, and a manual override on each valve eases setup. The shared 5F base feeds all stations from one PT1/8 point. This is genuine AirTAC product distributed by AirtacDistr; for anything beyond the published data, raise an RFQ.

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. |
| 5F | 5 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 five-position indexing dial actuates its part clamps and eject stroke from one 3V2M base; the fifth station holds the reject chute, whose NO valve vents the chute cylinder whenever the panel is unpowered.
Five hold-down clamps on a filling carousel share one PT1/8 supply; each 3/2 station feeds its spring-return clamp cylinder and vents it in the same cycle, so a sticky clamp is traced station by station.
In a screwdriving cell, the bit-advance and part-clamp cylinders for five spindles each hang off one manifold station, letting a faulty axis be swapped without rewiring the control loom.
The 3V2M family trades flow for density: Cv 0.1 per station through the base, versus Cv 0.18 at 1/8 in on a standalone 3V2 (0.19 at 1/4 in, vacuum-rated) and Cv 0.62 on a 3V3 when a port needs real throughput; pick 3V1 instead if 3.0 W DC suffices on a light load. The normally open state is fixed at order time - flipping the dedicated base gasket will not convert it, and no field method exists - so state NO explicitly. Check each point before checkout: initial state, coil voltage (DC12V), electrical entry (flying lead), station count (5F), exhaust (centralised) and thread (PT is standard; G and NPT are order options). Double-acting cylinders require the 5-port AirTAC 4V series.
Confirm before you order
Five normally open 3/2 valves on one base. Flow coefficient Cv 0.1 per station, pressure range 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi), medium temperature -20 to 70 C, each DC12V coil 7.0 W (about 35 W if all five energise at once), IP65 rating to DIN 40050, PT1/8 connections.
Feed-and-vent duties only: single-acting spring-return cylinders, clamps, air blow nozzles and pilot stages. It cannot run a double-acting cylinder - that needs two outlet lines, so specify the 5-port AirTAC 4V series instead.
