Abstract:
1. A three-port solenoid valve assembly comprising: a solenoid valve including a main directional control valve using the solenoid valve as a pilot valve; and a solenoid-valve holder that is made of a nonconductive material and is configured to mount the solenoid valve on the main directional control valve, the solenoid valve and the solenoid-valve holder being distinct components, such that the solenoid valve is removably mounted to the solenoid-valve holder, wherein the solenoid-valve holder includes wherein, when the solenoid valve is mounted on the fixing plate, a pair of connection terminals, disposed on the solenoid-valve holder, is electrically connected to a pair of electrification terminals that are disposed on the solenoid valve and connected to the exciting coil, wherein the terminal block includes a pair of receiving terminals arranged to protrude outside the terminal block to connect the connection terminals to terminals of external power, and wherein the fixing plate of the solenoid-valve holder is linked to the terminal block to form an L-shape, such that a mount side of the solenoid valve and a top face of the electromagnetic operation unit are completely covered by the fixing plate and the terminal block.
