Abstract
An elastomeric seating member and an assembly incorporating the same, particularly for solenoid coils of solenoid valves in ABS systems, is provided. The elastomeric seating member (40) provides a moisture resistant seal between a first housing (24) in which first members, such as the solenoid coils (26), are mounted and a second housing (48) in which electronic circuitry, such as the electronic control circuitry (38) for the solenoid valves, is mounted. The elastomeric seating member is mounted within a bore (32, 32a) communicating between the first and second housings and provides a seat for the solenoid coils and is arranged to permit the solenoid coils a limited amount of movement so that when the first housing is mounted on a valve block (20) comprising switch parts (30) of the solenoid valve, the elastomeric seating member permits the movement of the solenoid coils for alignment with the switch parts (30). The solenoid coils are coupled to the electronic circuitry in the second housing by way of wires (34) which extend from the solenoid coils through a bore (50 ) in the elastomeric seating member. The wires are electrically coupled to contacts on integral flexible finger port…
