The present invention is directed to a solenoid valve having a valve body with a fluid passage extending at least partially through the valve body. A supply port is disposed through the valve body and is operably connected to the fluid passage. The supply port introduces fluid medium from, such as hydraulic fluid, transmission fluid or some other suitable fluid from a pressure source such as a pump. A control port is also disposed through the valve body and is operably connected to the fluid passage. An exhaust port is also disposed through the valve body and is operably connected to the fluid passage. Between the control port and the supply port and the exhaust port there is a valve member that is operably disposed in the fluid passage. This is accomplished by way of a bore extending at least partially through the valve member. A metering orifice connects the fluid passage or exhaust port with the bore of the valve member.
A valve comprising:
The valve of claim 5 further comprising a spring operably contacting said shaft for biasing said armature and said shaft in one direction when said coil is not energized.
The valve of claim 5 further comprising two metering edges on said metering land for metering the flow of fluid through said metering orifices.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
