z All FLeX Series valves incorporate the Sun oating-style construction to minimize the possibility of internal
parts binding due to excessive installation torque and/or cavity/cartridge machining variations.
z Designed and tested to 10 million on-o operational cycles.
z Meets new NFPA test standard T2.6.1 R2014 for fatigue and burst pressure ratings.
z Higher ow rates than competing valves of similar size.
z Extremely low leakage 0.004 in

)/min (1 drop/min)
z Designed using CFD uid simulation for optimized geometries.
z Zinc-nickel plating standard for 1000-hour salt fog protection.
z Direct actuated and requires no minimum hydraulic pressure for operation.
z Can be used to pilot larger Sun cartridge valves that have an integral T-8A control cavity.
z Available with a manual push-version override option.
z Suitable for load-holding applications when using the normally closed option. In the event of power failure,
the valve will close.
z A wide variety of coil termination and voltage options are available, with and without surge protection. See
the CONFIGURATION section.
z Normally closed DTAF valves can be used with any of the FLeX coils, which includes low-power, high-power
and explosion-proof coils. Normally open DTAF valves can be used with the high-power and explosion-
proof coils.
z Coil connector options oer ratings up to IP69K. See individual coil product pages for details.
TECHNICAL FEATURESS
DTAF
SERIES P, CAVITY: T-8A2WAY, DIRECTACTING, SOLENOIDOPERATED
DIRECTIONAL BLOCKING POPPET VALVE
The 2/2 directional poppet valves are direct acting and feature
a pressure-balanced design. Both ports can be loaded with an
operating pressure up to 5000 psi (350 bar). They comprise a
hex body (3), solenoid with coil (2), poppet (5), pin (4), spring
(6), and coil nut (1).
DTAF-*H* (normally open)
Function: When the coil (2) is de-energized, the spring (6)
holds the poppet (5) away from the seat (3), allowing bi-direc-
tional ow. When energized, the poppet is pushed into the
seat by the solenoid, and the valve is closed, blocking ow.
TECHNICAL FEATURES
DTAF-*C* (normally closed)
Function: When de-energized, the poppet (5) is pulled
against the valve seat (3) by the spring (6), closing the valve
and blocking ow. When energized, the solenoid with coil (2)
pushes the poppet o the seat and opens the valve, allowing
bi-directional ow.

STANDARD T-8A LINE-MOUNT & SANDWICH MANIFOLDS
Sun Hydraulics oers eight standard line-mount manifolds with T-8A cavity for the DTAF. These single-
cavity manifolds include in a range of port sizes and interfaces. The popular WFN model line-mount
90° manifold (shown at left) has a single cavity and SAE 4 ports.
In sandwich manifolds, we oer 11 standard single-cavity bodies based on the T-8A cavity, including
six with SAE 4 ports that include a range of ISO interfaces.
To search our complete line of more than 4000 standard manifolds, please visit our website:
www.SunHydraulics.com/models/manifolds.
T-8A-COMPATIBLE MAIN STAGE ELEMENTS
As a T-8A pilot stage cartridge, the DTAF can control any of Sun’s 95 main stage cartridges with integral T-8A cavities. Main stage
elements include relief, reducing, reducing/relieving, sequence, logic, directional and ow control functions. The combination of
the DTAF and one of these main stage elements delivers accurate, high-speed control at capacities up to 300 gpm (1,100 L/min).
To see all Sun main stage cartridges with integral T-8A cavity, visit our website: www.sunhydraulics.com. Use the “Cartridges”
navigation to go to any category of cartridges (or click on the main “Cartridges” navigation to see all cartridges). Once you are on
a product listing page, in the left column under “Descriptors, choose “Integral T-8A control cavity. This will lter the list and show
those cartridges that include the cavity.
