## Abstract

A fluid pressure control device includes a body, a valve unit, a solenoid externally fitted to the valve unit, a board, and a solenoid terminal connected with the board. The fluid pressure control device further includes a spacer which is made of elastic material and located between the solenoid and the board. The fluid pressure control device also includes a case accommodating the solenoid, the board, and the spacer.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A fluid pressure control device comprising:
a body in which fluid flows;
a solenoid valve including:
a valve unit for allowing and blocking flow of the fluid; and
a solenoid externally fitted to the valve unit in a detachable manner;
a solenoid terminal connected with the solenoid;
a board including a surface on which an electrical element is arranged, the board connected with the solenoid terminal;
a spacer including elastic material, the spacer located between the solenoid and the board; and
a case attached to the body, the case accommodating the solenoid, the board, and the spacer,
wherein the board and the spacer are held between the solenoid and the case.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The fluid pressure control device according to claim 1, wherein the spacer includes a sandwiched portion, the sandwiched portion located between the board and a surface of the solenoid, the sandwiched portion compressed.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The fluid pressure control device according to claim 2, wherein the spacer includes a guide portion extending from the sandwiched portion in an axial direction of the solenoid and holding an outer periphery of the solenoid.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The fluid pressure control device according to claim 3, wherein the spacer includes an arm portion extending from the guide portion to a side face of the case, the side face facing the outer periphery of the solenoid, the arm portion including a tip portion coming in contact with the side face.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The fluid pressure control device according to claim 4, wherein the arm portion is compressed.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The fluid pressure control device according to claim 1, wherein:
the spacer includes a protrusion portion;
the board includes a recessed portion; and
the protrusion portion is fitted in the recessed portion and the board is accordingly connected with the spacer.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The fluid pressure control device according to claim 6, wherein the case includes a pillar inserted to a hole formed at the board.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The fluid pressure control device according to claim 1, wherein the solenoid terminal is a press fit terminal.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The fluid pressure control device according claim 1, wherein:
the fluid pressure control device is incorporated to a vehicle; and
brake fluid flows in the body.

### Claim 10

A method for composing a fluid pressure control device,
the fluid pressure control device including:
a body in which fluid flows;
a solenoid valve including:
a valve unit for allowing and blocking flow of the fluid; and
a solenoid externally fitted to the valve unit in a detachable manner;
a solenoid terminal connected with the solenoid;
a board including a surface on which an electrical element is arranged, the board connected with the solenoid terminal;
a spacer including elastic material, the spacer located between the solenoid and the board; and
a case attached to the body, the case accommodating the solenoid, the board, and the spacer,
wherein the board and the spacer are held between the solenoid and the case,
the method includes:
a first step for obtaining a first collective in which the solenoid, the board, and the spacer are combined together, the first step including:
disposing the spacer between the solenoid and the board; and
inserting the solenoid terminal to a hole formed at the board;
a second step for obtaining a second collective, including:
locating the first collective in the case; and
forming the second collective by combining the first collective and the case; and
a third step for combining the second collective to the body.
