Miniature media isolated rocking diaphragm valve with enhanced flux circuit

A valve comprising:

• a bottom plate having a plurality of fluid flow paths including at least one inlet path and an outlet path for a fluid flow through the bottom plate;
• a combined valve body and bobbin that is fixed to the bottom plate, the combined valve body and bobbin including a bobbin portion that supports a magnet wire coil and a valve body portion that houses a valve operator that is moveable between a first operator position and a second operator position to control the fluid flow through the bottom plate, wherein the bobbin portion and the valve portion of the combined valve body and bobbin are formed integrally as a single piece;
• the bobbin portion of the combined valve body and bobbin further defining a bobbin bore;
• a pole that is fixed within the bobbin bore;
• an armature positioned within the bobbin bore and adjacent to the pole, wherein by energizing the magnet wire coil the armature is moveable through the bobbin bore relative to the pole along a stroke distance from a first armature position to a second armature position to operate the valve operator to control the fluid flow through the bottom plate;
• and
• a flux bracket having a first end that is positioned in close contact with the pole and a second end that is passed through the valve body portion of the combined valve body and bobbin to position the second end in proximity to the armature.
