Abstract
A fluid controlling electromagnetic valve is formed by mechanically fixing one axial end portion of a stator core to an annular portion of a yoke, after the primary molding of a coil bobbin, and by sandwiching flanges of the coil bobbin having a coil wound by a predetermined number of turns around the outer circumference of a guide portion, between the rear end face of the annular portion of the yoke and front end face of an annular magnetic plate. A secondary molding is performed including a piece for regulating the axial moving distance of a valve member, to mold a housing of the fluid controlling electromagnetic valve.
