Abstract
In a solenoid valve device in which connection terminals, each of which is connected to one of a plurality of solenoid valves fixed in a mounting block, are placed inside a common coupler, a coupler assembly integrally comprising the coupler is detachably mounted on the mounting block at a position which is spaced back from each of the solenoid parts, and elastic connecting members made from an electrically conductive metal are provided between each of a plurality of first flat terminals which are fixedly positioned on the side of the coupler assembly facing the mounting block so as to connect to the corresponding electrically conductive lead members arranged in the coupler assembly and second flat terminals, each of which is arranged at the rear end of each of the solenoid parts so as to be individually opposite the first flat terminals. The solenoid part of each of the solenoid valves and the respective connection terminals inside the coupler can thus be connected and disconnected extremely easily and, moreover, any erroneous connection can be avoided.
