The AirTAC Airtac 3V3 Solenoid Valve 3V308NCC is a genuine 3-port 2-position (3/2) solenoid valve with 1/4 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.
3V308NCC is the largest-body 3/2-way valve in AirTAC's 3V family: a 1/4in PT port, normally closed, with an AC110V coil on a DIN plug. Direct-acting with a coaxial poppet and spring return, it either feeds the outlet or vents it to exhaust, driving single-acting cylinders, air blow, clamps, vacuum switching or a larger pilot valve. Being NC, the outlet stays closed until the coil is energised.
Flow is where this body earns its keep: Cv 0.62, about six times the base-mounted 3V2M and more than three times the 3V208, so stepping up from a 3V2 is a genuine jump in capacity rather than a marginal one. It also handles negative pressure, rated -102.2 kPa to 0.1 MPa for vacuum service. A manual override is fitted to ease installation and commissioning.

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.
Feeds and vents a spring-return clamp cylinder on a forming or stamping press, where the 1/4in port and Cv 0.62 keep the fill time short on a larger bore.
Switches a high-volume air jet that clears chips and swarf from the machining envelope between cycles, an on/off duty that suits the highest-flow 3V body.
Connects and releases vacuum to a big flat cup lifting steel or glass sheet, staying sealed because the coaxial poppet design holds well at -102.2 kPa.
3V3 is the biggest 3-port body AirTAC makes, so sizing usually means stepping down. Move to 3V2 (1/8in or 1/4in, Cv 0.18-0.19, also vacuum-rated) when Cv 0.62 exceeds what the line needs, to 3V2M (Cv 0.1) when a dense multi-station manifold matters more than flow, or to 3V1 for the smallest low-power duties (3.0 W on DC24V). Match five points: port and thread (PT1/4 is the standard thread on this family, G and NPT are catalogue options to order), initial state (this code is NC), coil voltage (AC110V here), electrical entry (DIN plug), and whether the duty involves vacuum. A double-acting cylinder needs a 5-port AirTAC 4V valve, not this one.
Confirm before you order
Flow coefficient Cv 0.62, operating pressure 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi), vacuum rating -102.2 kPa to 0.1 MPa, ambient and medium temperature -20 to 70 C, coil power 10 VA on AC and 6.5 W on DC, protection IP65 (DIN 40050). It is a direct-acting 3/2 poppet valve on a 1/4in PT port; air should be filtered to 40 um or finer, and lubrication is not required.
Both are order options on the 3V3 body. NC, as on this 3V308NCC, leaves the outlet closed until the coil is energised - the usual choice for clamps and actuators that should sit still on power loss. NO passes air until energised, suiting blow-off or venting duties that should run on power loss. Pick by the safe state of your machine.
