Patent ID: 7328720

Claim:
A solenoid valve comprising: a main valve portion for switching a fluid flow path by operation of a valve member; a solenoid operation portion for making the valve member operates by a magnetic force generated by passing a current through an excitation coil; a control circuit having a collective wiring terminal portion connected to a power supply by collective wiring and an individual wiring terminal portion connected to the power supply by individual wiring, the control circuit being connected to the excitation coil; an individual receiving connector connected to the individual wiring terminal portion, the individual receiving connector being connected to an individual feeding connector from the power supply when individual wiring is performed; a switching member being able to be freely shifted between a first operational position where the connection of the individual feeding connector to the individual receiving connector is prohibited and a second operational position where the connection is allowed; and a switch operating in response to operation of the switching member, the switch for switching the control circuit to the collective wiring connection when the switching member is shifted to the first operational position and for switching the control circuit to the individual wiring connection when the switching member is shifted to the second operational position.
