The Sun Hydraulics A2J (A2J) is a specialized manifold designed for use with solenoid-operated and electroproportional cartridges. This manifold features additional material around the cavity to accommodate coil clearance and the spotface necessary for Sun's weatherized coil. It is a line mount body type with no specific interface, incorporating a ninety-degree configuration with reverse flow check that accepts both standard and weatherized coils. The manifold includes 11 open cavities, each sized for T11A cartridges, and provides a port size of SAE 8. For mounting purposes, it has 22 through holes with a diameter of 0.34 inches (8.6 mm). Constructed from 6061T651 aluminum, this manifold is recognized for its strength, cost-effectiveness, ease of machining, availability in various shapes and sizes, and exceptional corrosion resistance. The design choice not to anodize the aluminum stems from considerations of cost efficiency, logistical challenges in large-scale production, consistency issues with anodizing colors like blue or black, potential inspection difficulties due to color interference, increased breakaway torque when removing components from anodized surfaces, and significantly reduced fatigue life due to the brittle nature of anodized layers under pressure. This well-engineered component is ideal for applications requiring robust construction while maintaining compatibility with both standard and weather-resistant coil configurations in hydraulic systems.
