Before understanding the concept of asolenoid valve, we should first understand what a valve is.

A valve is a device which works byregulating or controlling the flow of a fluid. This fluid can be liquid, gas,slurry, etc. Valves are available in a wide variety of makes and designs,serving a variety of purposes.

Now, a solenoid valve is just thecombination of a solenoid and a valve, which regulates the movement of gas orliquid by means of electric current. This electromechanical actuator stops,releases, distributes or combines fluids; and is being extensively used in anumber of application areas.

Components of a Solenoid Valve

ASolenoid Valve has parts like a coil of wire (which is the Solenoid), a metalcore, electrical connector, bonnet nut, body, etc. These components arenecessary for the efficient functioning of the valve. In case a malfunctionoccurs in any of the parts, the operation of the valve will not be effective.
