A solenoid valve for opening and closing a fluid passage formed therein by the movement of a movable core in which a coil is wound around a resin bobbin and a stator core is fixed at one end portion of a center hole of the bobbin. A magnetic path plate having a ring-shaped portion and a flanged portion is insert-moulded in a body of the bobbin with a part of the flanged portion protruding radially to the outside of the body of the bobbin. The magnetic path plate is disposed such that the inner surface of the ring-shaped portion surrounds the outer surface of the moving core and the ring-shaped portion is concentric with the center hole of the bobbin. Since the protruding flanged portion is connected mechanically to one end of a yoke, a magnetic path is provided between the movable core and the yoke through the magnetic path plate with a reduced reluctance.
