  • Patent number: 8931758
    Abstract: Provided is a solenoid valve stable in response performance, whose quickness and damping performance are appropriate. In the solenoid valve, a respiration port for flowing fluid into and out from a space located on one side of a plunger that faces the spool is formed in an end portion of a valve sleeve. Further, a respiration groove, which causes the space on the one side of the plunger and the respiration port to communicate with each other when an end portion of the spool and an end portion of a center post are in contact with each other, is formed on the spool. This configuration makes it possible to discharge, with an appropriate level of flow-channel resistance, fluid placed in the space located on the one side of the plunger.
