Abstract

An electromagnetic valve has: a coil unit including a bobbin around which a coil winding is wound, the bobbin having a central hole; a pipe body in which a fixed core is press-fitted and welded; and a valve operating unit with the pipe body inserted in the central hole of the bobbin at an one end thereof, a valve of the valve operating unit being opened or closed when the coil unit is energized, wherein, in an inserted portion of the pipe body opposed to the central hole of the bobbin, a welding portion in which a fixed core is welded is formed in a thin-wall sectional shape reduced only an outer diameter thereof, and a difference in the outer diameter between the welding portion and the inserted portion serves to absorb the swelling of a bead due to the welding.
