ABSTRACT:
A manifold has a supply inlet communicating with a plurality of spaced supply ports; and, has associated with each supply port a separate control pressure passage. A gasket has a plurality of spaced bosses, each with a valving cavity with an electrically operated valve received and ported in the cavity. Each valving cavity has a supply port communicating with one of the supply ports on the manifold and a control pressure outlet port communicating with one of the control pressure passages on the manifold. A plurality of electrically conductive strips are embedded in the gasket and each is connected to a terminal pin in a receptacle shell formed on the gasket. The remote end of each of the conductor strips is exposed adjacent a valve and makes contact with a terminal on the valve when the valve is received in the respective valving cavity. A common retaining bracket is attached to the manifold and retains the valves and gasket as an assembly on the manifold.
