SOLENOID VALVE FOR ENGINE CONTROL

A movable valve element (24) is comprised of a valve member (22) and a leaf spring (26). A passage forming member (12) is securely fixed to a valve chamber forming member (10) that forms a valve chamber (S). The passage forming member (12) has a fluid passage (14) extending from one end to the other end thereof, with the one end (14a) of the fluid passage (14) constituting an outlet port of the valve chamber (S). The passage forming member (12) has an O-ring (20) surrounding and spaced apart from the outlet port (14a), the O-ring (20) constituting a valve seat. Spring force of the leaf spring (26) brings the valve member (22) into pressure contact with the O-ring (20), to form a closed valve state.
