Abstract
A solenoid valve includes: a movable iron core; a solenoid molded body disposed outside the movable iron core in a radial direction and including a coil; a solenoid casing accommodating the movable iron core and the solenoid molded body; a fixed iron core disposed inside the solenoid molded body in the radial direction to generate a magnetic force between the fixed iron core and the movable iron core when the coil is energized; and a valve unit that opens and closes a flow passage in accordance with a movement of the movable iron core. A magnetic material separate from the solenoid casing is disposed at an axial end portion of the coil outside the solenoid casing.
