The Sun Hydraulics C3K (Material Number: C3K) is a specialized manifold designed for use with solenoid-operated and electroproportional cartridges. This component features additional material around the cavity, providing the necessary coil clearance and the spotface required for Sun's weatherized coil. The body type is line mount, with no specific interface, and it is capable of accepting both standard and weatherized coils at a ninety-degree angle. The manifold includes 22 mounting holes, each with a diameter of 0.34 inches (8.6 mm), drilled through for secure attachment. It has 11 open cavities compatible with T11A size cartridges and utilizes SAE 10 port sizes for fluid connections. This manifold is constructed from 6061T651 aluminum, known for its strength, cost-effectiveness, machinability, availability in various shapes and sizes, and high corrosion resistance. Notably, Sun Hydraulics does not anodize their aluminum bodies due to several reasons including cost implications, logistical challenges in maintaining consistency across large production volumes, potential inspection difficulties due to color changes post-anodizing, increased torque during disassembly of anodized parts, and significant reductions in fatigue life due to the brittle nature of anodized surfaces under pressure. The design considerations make this manifold particularly suitable for applications requiring robust performance in environments where corrosion resistance is critical without the need for additional protective coatings like anodizing. Its compatibility with both standard and weatherized coils allows it to be versatile in various hydraulic systems where solenoid or proportional control is needed.
