The AirTAC Airtac 3V3 Solenoid Valve 3V308NOB 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.
Where a circuit has to switch vacuum as well as pressure, the 3V308NOB fits: this normally open 3/2 valve is rated from -102.2 kPa to 0.1 MPa, so it can hold vacuum on the outlet line until the DC24V coil is energised, then vent it. Note that the smaller 3V1 and 3V2M bodies are not vacuum rated - 3V3 is.
The DC24V coil takes just 6.5 W, less than the 7.0 W of a 3V2, which helps where panel power is limited. Direct acting with spring return and a coaxial poppet, it carries a Cv of 0.62 - the highest in the 3V series - on a 1/4in PT port with DIN plug entry.

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.
Keeps vacuum on the hold-down zone between cuts and breaks it on command; the DC24V 6.5 W coil suits battery-backed or low-power cabinets.
Normally open feed holds a single-acting clamp engaged while power is off; energise the DC24V coil to vent and release the workpiece safely.
Keeps a spring-return gate cylinder fed along the packaging line, and vents it instantly when the coil energises to stop product flow.
3V3 sits at the top of AirTAC's 3-port flow ladder, so the only sizing direction is down: choose 3V2 (Cv 0.18-0.19, also vacuum rated) when Cv 0.62 is generous for the line, 3V2M (Cv 0.1) where a compact multi-station manifold matters more than flow, or 3V1 (3.0 W on DC24V) for the least demanding duties. Confirm five points on the order: PT1/4 thread (G and NPT are order options, not stock items), normally open state, DC24V coil, DIN plug entry, and any vacuum duty. For double-acting actuators, the AirTAC 4V series is the correct family.

Flow coefficient Cv 0.62, the highest in AirTAC's 3-port range. Operating pressure 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi). Vacuum service from -102.2 kPa to 0.1 MPa. Temperature -20 to 70 C. DC24V coil power 6.5 W. IP65 to DIN 40050. Medium is air filtered to 40 um or finer; no lubrication needed.
NO means supply air reaches the outlet while the coil is off, and energising the DC24V coil vents the line to exhaust - the fail state is air-on. It drives single-acting, spring-return cylinders, clamps, blow lines and pilots. A double-acting cylinder needs two outlet lines, so use the AirTAC 4V 5-port series.
