Abstract
This invention is directed to a connection between a magnet valve and a housing block. The housing block has a receiving bore, which as the bore depth increases changes the bore into an undercut. A valve body portion has a shape adapted to the undercut, leaving open a continuous encompassing gap of constant width with respect to the undercut. A housing jacket that fits over the coil of the magnet valve is press-fitted into the gap. The jacket is longitudinally slit to form tongues whose ends undergo deformation in the undercut. The form-fitting connection is usable for instance in the hydraulic unit of anti-lock vehicle brake systems.
