Abstract
A solenoid valve device controls a driving force generated by a linear solenoid (electromagnetic driving portion), for pressing a spool away from the linear solenoid by controlling a current supplied to a coil, and ultimately adjusting an oil pressure flowing from an outlet port. As current supplied to the coil increases, the outlet port oil pressure decreases. An outside diameter of a tube portion of a valve housing is equal to or larger than an outside diameter r of the linear solenoid (r ≧r ) and a flange of the valve housing, permitting the entire solenoid valve device to be disposed within a cylindrical reception hole provided in a hydraulic control apparatus body of an automatic gear, for example. A method of manufacturing the solenoid valve device is also disclosed.
