a support hole 33 rotatably supports the wiring block 26; operation parts 43 that are provided at tip parts of leg portions 42 provided to end wall portions 34 of both ends of the wiring block; an engaging convex part 44 provided on each operation part 43; an engaging concave part 45 provided to the pedestal block 27 and engaged with the engaging convex part 44 when a connector 25 is held at an upright position; and an engaging concave part 46 engaged with the engaging convex part 44 when the connector 25 is held at a lateral position. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A solenoid valve manifold including a solenoid valve aggregate formed by aggregating a plurality of solenoid valves, the solenoid valve manifold comprising: a wiring block including a connector electrically connected to the solenoid valves; a pedestal block disposed on the solenoid valve aggregate, an accommodation space in which the wiring block is accommodated being formed in the pedestal block; fixed fitting parts provided on a support wall of the pedestal block so as to oppose each other via the accommodation space; rotation fitting parts provided on end wall portions of both ends of the wiring block, and rotatably supporting the wiring block between an upper holding position and a lateral holding position where the rotation fitting parts are fitted into the fixed fitting parts and the connector becomes an upper state and a lateral state, respectively; operation parts provided on tip parts of elastically deformable leg portions provided on end wall portions of both ends of the wiring block, the operation parts being displaceable in directions of approaching and separating from each other; an operation engaging part provided on the operation parts; and an upward engaging part provided on the pedestal block and engaged with the operation engaging part when the connector is held at the upward position, and a lateral engaging part engaged with the operation engaging part when the connector is held at the lateral position, wherein engagement with and disengagement from the operation engaging part and rotation of the wiring block are able to be performed by making the operation parts approach each other. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The solenoid valve manifold according to claim 1, wherein each of the fixed fitting parts is a support pin protruding from the support wall, and the rotation fitting part is a support hole into which the support pin is fitted. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The solenoid valve manifold according to claim 1, wherein the upward engaging part and the lateral engaging part are each an engaging concave part, and the operation engaging part is an engaging convex part engaged with the engaging concave part. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The solenoid valve manifold according to claim 3, wherein the engaging convex part has a first convex part protruding from a bottom surface of the operation part in a bottom surface direction of the wiring block, and a second convex part protruding from a bottom surface of the first convex part in the bottom surface direction of the wiring block, and the engaging concave part has a first engaging concave part formed by notching an upper surface of the pedestal block and the support wall, and a second engaging concave part formed by notching an outer side surface of the pedestal block and the support wall. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The solenoid valve manifold according to claim 4, wherein a width of the first convex part is larger than a width of the second convex part. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The solenoid valve manifold according to claim 4, wherein if it is assumed that a distance from a rotation axis to the bottom surface of each of the operation parts is D1, a distance from the rotation axis to the bottom surface of the first convex part is D2, a distance from the rotation axis to an upper surface in which the first engaging concave part opens is L1, and a distance from the rotation axis to an outer side surface in which the first engaging concave part opens is L2, L2
