Abstract: The solenoid valve assembly (1) comprises first and second shut-off solenoid valves (2; 3) for controlling the supply of hot water and cold water, and which have a body (2a; 3a) with an inlet duct (2b; 3b) and at least one outlet port (2d; 3d, 3e), and with at least one control winding (2f; 3f, 3g) that extends from the body (2a; 3a) orthogonally to the respective inlet duct (2b; 3b) and is provided with electrical connection terminals (2h; 3h, 3i) which are parallel with one another. These solenoid valves (2, 3) are arranged with their respective bodies (2a; 3a) interconnected in a side-by-side arrangement, with the inlet ducts (2b; 3b) parallel with one another and with their respective windings (2f; 3f, 3g) also parallel with one another. The assembly (1) further comprises a connecting structure (12) with an electrically insulating plate-like body (13) carrying a plurality of electrical conductors (14) coupled to an electrical connector portion (15) integrally formed with the connecting structure (12).

Abstract: A method for generating a low-voltage power supply for an electrical control device, the method includes switching a first power supply unit to one of an active mode and an idle mode by inputting an activation/deactivation input to the first power supply unit, wherein the activation/deactivation input is input by one of connecting a low-voltage switching signal to the first power supply unit and disconnecting the low-voltage switching signal from the first power supply unit, wherein the low-voltage switching signal is generated at an output end by an additional power supply unit, at least in the idle mode of the first power supply unit, and wherein the low-voltage signal is one of connected and disconnected from the activation/deactivation input of the power supply unit using a low-voltage switch. The invention further relates to a low-voltage power supply circuit of an electrical control device for carrying out such a method.
