A high-pressure fluid control solenoid valve assembly for use with a spill type fuel injection pump of an internal combustion engine, comprises an actuator portion (101) including a solenoid (8, 9), a stator (7) and an armature (14), and a valve portion (102) including a pilot valve (40, 41) and a main valve (42, 43) where the valve portion (102) is spaced apart from the actuator portion (101) and is responsive to the movement of the armature (14) via a rod (14) connected to the armature (14) and extends axially in a bore of the stator (7) which is cylindrical hollow. The pilot valve (40, 41) is coaxial with and telescopically received in the main valve (42, 43) so that two fluid chambers (54, 51) are formed inside and outside, respectively a spool (42) of the main valve such that the main valve is continuously kept closed irrespective of the fluid pressure in these chambers as long as the pilot valve is closed. The pilot valve comprises a needle (40) which is arranged to be pressed by the rod (13) to close the pilot valve on energization of the solenoid (8, 9), where the needle (40) is normally biased in valve-opening direction. On deenergization, the pilot valve opens causing the main valve to spill fuel thus terminating the fuel injection.
