Abstract
There is provided a solenoid actuator which is easy to carry out wiring work for coils thereof, and at the same time allows reduction of manufacturing costs through common application of a fixed wiring. A solenoid actuator is supplied with electric power from a power source, for generating an electromagnetic force to drive a driven member such that the driven member performs reciprocating motion. Two electromagnets each have a coil and arranged such that they are opposed to each other and spaced from each other. An armature is connected to the driven member, and arranged between the two electromagnets, for performing reciprocating motion in accordance with energization and deenergization of the two electromagnets to thereby drive the driven member such that the driven member performs the reciprocating motion. Two terminals are connected to opposite ends of said coil of said each of said two electromagnets, and arranged such that the two terminals protrude outward from each of the two electromagnets, respectively. A connector has four metal connectors electrically connectible to the power source. Each two of the metal connectors are connected to the terminals of the each of the two …
