Abstract:
1. An electromagnetic actuator comprising: a fixed core supported by a bottom wall of a housing made of magnetic material; a movable core arranged opposite to the fixed core via an air gap to drive a movable member; and a coil assembly comprising a bobbin supported by the housing to surround the fixed and movable cores, and a coil wound around the bobbin, wherein a small strut for insert-connecting a proximal end of a coupler terminal is integrally formed on one end surface of the bobbin; wherein an outgoing line of the coil wound around the small strut is connected to the coupler terminal; and wherein on a coil cover molded on an outer periphery of the coil and the bobbin so as to seal the coil to the bobbin, a protruded portion is integrally formed for enveloping the small strut to protrude from an end surface of the coil cover and a coupler is exposed to the outside through an aperture provided from the peripheral wall of the housing to the bottom wall, and the protruded portion is arranged within the aperture so as to be adjacent to the bottom wall.
