Abstract

A solenoid valve is provided to control a gas supply pressure such as a hydrogen supply valve of a fuel cell system. In particular, the solenoid valve includes: a valve body including a nozzle and a valve chamber, a nozzle opening/closing sheet, and a gas bypass hole formed on the valve body to communicate with a valve chamber of the valve body when the nozzle is closed and supply gas to a first chamber of the valve chamber through the gas bypass hole. With this arrangement, the solenoid valve may inhibit gas leak that can occur in the nozzle due to a diameter error of the nozzle due to a production deviation and a production deviation of a regulator.
