A valve for distributing fluids includes a housing, a bobbin disposed within the housing having a bore, a coil disposed on the bobbin wall, and an armature disposed within the bore of the bobbin. The armature includes a point region and a main body that is integral to the point region. The armature moves between a first position and a second position. The solenoid valve further includes a pole piece having a cylindrical bore and a valve body disposed within the cylindrical bore of the pole piece. The solenoid valve also includes a spool disposed within the valve body bore, and a spring member operatively disposed within the spool bore.

Valve for distributing fluids

A dual sided connector block for a solenoid is provided which may be used in multiple designs. The dual sided connector block includes a base, a first terminal insertion slot on a first side of the base, a second terminal insertion slot on the second side of the base, a tie-off post, and a magnet wire. The magnet wire is operatively configured as a solenoid coil and is routed inside of the base and wound around the tie off post. The magnet wire is accessible to a connector blade inserted through either the first terminal insertion slot or the second terminal insertion slot.

Dual sided connector block

An armature for a solenoid assembly is disclosed. The armature includes a first portion, a second portion, and a fin. The first portion has a first axial length and a first diameter, and the first portion is configured for operative connection with a pole piece. The second portion has a second axial length and a second diameter that is larger than the first diameter. The fin extends radially from the second portion and has an axial length that is less than the axial length of the second portion. A solenoid assembly is also disclosed.
