Solenoid with a plug-in and turn fastening

#This application claims benefit of German Application No. 10 2012 003 648.5, filed on Feb. 24, 2012. The entire disclosure of the above application is incorporated herein by reference.

#The present disclosure relates to a proportionally acting solenoid.

#This section provides background information related to the present disclosure which is not necessarily prior art.

#The drawings described herein are for illustrative purposes only of selected embodiments and not all possible implementations, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure.

#FIG. 1 shows, in an oblique view, the installed solenoid in the completely fitted state.

#FIG. 2 shows, in a top view, the solenoid in an axially pushed-in, but not yet rotated state.

#Corresponding reference numerals indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views of the drawings.

#Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings.

#The proportionally acting solenoid 1 has a plastics encapsulation 2 having a fastening flange 3 which is integrally formed thereon and contains shaped elements 4. The latter permit axial pressing in, rotation and rotary resilient latching in order to install the solenoid 1 on the housing 11. In interaction with metallic springs 5 and shaped elements 12 of the housing 11, the shaped elements 4 hold the solenoid on a housing 11 axially, radially and against rotation. In this case, only a small axial force is applied to the installation.
