Abstract: An electromagnetic control valve having a coil housing and a valve housing provided with a connector for inlet into the valve housing of a medium whose pressure is to be controlled. The valve housing has a chamber connected to ambient atmosphere and a pressure valve controlling communication between the chamber and the medium introduced into the valve housing. A by-pass channel is connected to ambient atmosphere, and a suction valve controls communication between the by-pass channel and the medium introduced into the valve housing. The pressure valve comprises a valve plate facing a valve seat in the valve housing for selectively opening and closing an opening in the valve seat to respectively connect and disconnect the medium introduced into the valve housing from the chamber. The valve plate is slidably supported by a basket and is biassed by a spring against stops provided on the basket.
