Abstract
An air bypass valve () includes a solenoid assembly () including a magnetic housing (), a coil bobbin () in the magnetic housing, a coil () disposed about the coil bobbin, and a magnetic flux ring () coupled with the magnetic housing. An armature and seal assembly () includes an armature structure () that can move with respect to the solenoid assembly from a closed position to an open position in response to a magnetic field generated by the coil. Seal structure () is coupled with armature structure so that the seal structure can pivot with respect to the armature structure. The seal structure has a sealing edge () to seal with a manifold component when the armature structure is in the closed position thereof. A spring () biases the armature structure to the closed position and a main housing covers () the magnetic housing.
